great tip and i like your analogy of a steelhead bight feeling like a rubber band contracting i would have to say about 90 % of steelhead i have hooked have felt that way but every once in a while i will get a hit that is just brutal like damn neer rip the rod out of your hand. ive also had a couple just hang up like they were snagged but the braided line let me feel that it was just a little different than bottom. we will see how the maxima plays out this spring.
