Most rays are not much of a fight, but the use as a kite in the tide, the exception is the blonde ray will be a good fight, even in the light of flood flows.
Rays do not have teeth as such, but two crushing plates and very strong jaws so that the inside of your fingers and you do recover, the use of a t-bar, or tongs long nose in place of brackets.
