World record marlin on 4 lb test weighed 573 lbs. What's y'alls take on bent hooks? Do you think a hook becomes compromised once it's been bent? I always bend my jig beads points uo a little for better hookups, but wonder if a hook becomes weakened if it gets all the way bent out then back. I'm going to try the Trilene XT 4 lb mono and see how it works. It has the same diameter as XL at .008. The 6lb XL is .009 which seems a minute difference but will make a big difference I feel in getting bites and detection
