 what lb mono  are you using as a  front line?   i rigged up my 50w with 80lb braid  straight to the leader  but  want to put  a heavy mono leader  in front.   we landed  some  nice  sharks  this past week on it  but also lost  one that was absolute  giant.  we were  out  about 10 miles and  it took out around 2000 feet of line  before  it broke.   So  i am thinking  a heavy mono leader would work as a shock absorber.

Yeah the mono leader does act as a shock absorber and the stretch in the line actually tires the fish out faster. I have 100lb mono on mine.
