Most rigger cable are rated for 150lbs, the breakaway is rated for 50lb creating a weak spot like previously stated. That breakaway goes on the lower half of your probe to the torpedo weight allowing for a weak connection. X2 for checking rigger cable often while in use. Frays, twists, kinks will dramatically reduce cable strength. Remember to change your cable connections every season. Lately we’ve been using 60lbs mono between probe and weights! Works great and very cheap to replace. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United
