Did you loose it near laguna beach/carrolon beach area? I hooked a lost rig with a VERY big hook and large line with homemade spider weights.When we went surf fishing I lost two lines. Something was big enough to take the bait all the way past the leader and cut the line.
Surf was a little rough so we had to use spider weights to keep the line on the bottom.
I started making my own spider weights.
