The kink you get on leader when reeling in big fish on slider will many times lead to heartbreak as you have experienced. I had it happen 3x on one trip while fishing 60 lb leader. Bumped up to 80 lb leader that day and switched to modified snafu and problem solved. Other drawback of slider rig is if you are fortunate enough to catch world record fish you will be disqualified for having swinging hook.

I'm sure I will never have to worry about catch a world record fish but wow if I did you #%*+rs especially Shrimp might as well have yours ears permantly plugged lmao
