I had this a couple of weeks ago at Ladypit, landed 5 , 2 hookpulls and 2 with the hook missing. I put it down to Chub bite offs. I was using korum 10lb b.s. smokescreen braid. I do know they'll bite your line through just above the hook with no indication.
Through experience, I've found that you need to re-tie any link knots after a good tug, I've used X line in all breaking strains for many years, just re-tie your swivel knot ( palomar) after any hard pull.
I'm in W.A.S, also do a few W&U, just started on the middle and tidal trent, there's some nice quiet country up there, it ain't all circus, not yet anyway.
