Just try to hold your rod around 60 degree when fighting the fish and never pull it over your head. If the fish wants line, let it takes it. Running uses up its energy so it is to your advantage that the fish exhausts itself first before it is ready to be landed. One of my rods have been with me for almost 18 years, never broke once over a fish, including quite a few 30 & 40 lbers. So, keep that 60 degree and you will be ok.
