or buy a base with webbing or cord as a failsafe - that saved me from a similiar swim once
Agreed - same happened to me a couple of months ago - boge snapped, planed in half-powered up (as a precaution), changed over to my spare & enjoyed the rest of my session...
...now last week when the wind dropped from 25kts to 5kts in less than minutes & I was on my sinker about 500m out, that's a swim that I couldn't avoid.
