I've fished with the Tasmanian Devils before and like the lure. I did lose a fish once in a while although I was fishing mainly for Smallmouths. One think you might be doing is failing to ease off on your drag just a bit as you get a big fish closer to you. A lot of the time they have one good run left and if you've left the drag too tight they get more leverage the closer they are to you. This makes it easier for them to pull off.
Another thing you can do is make sure your hooks are sharp. A lot of the time new hooks on lures need a little touching up with a hook sharpener. When you lightly drag it across your thumbnail you want the hook to snag on the nail.
I hope this helps you lose fewer fish. Tightlines.
