i have found they are good, they will twist a little if you use pliers to unhook but other than that they fine.

Don't tighten up the drag too tight. Let em run.

I alway fish with a light drag. I find I loose fewer fish.

If I hook a big Red.....might have to increase the drag a little to get him to the boat.

Always keep the line tight.
