What gets me is I still dont understand how it did it. I wasnt watching when it happened. One minute the tang was eating some nori off of the suspended clip and the next minute it was gone. The fishing line was only a few months old and even though it had been under MH light it didnt show any signs of weakness. However the line did snap where the knot was tied and its strength would be compromised a bit there. So perhaps 2 pounds of force was what it took... but that still seems like quite a tug from a tang.

I've looked through that thread but I'm not sold on the idea. I think what I need to do is just use some stronger fishing line. Thats if I can ever find the veggie clip again... it must have fallen behind the rock-work somewhere. Hopefully the eel will push it out one of these days.
