That sucks! I just was broke off using 65 lb powerpro twice in La Jolla, thought it was my knot, tested using my truck as a fish and found the spectra breaks 3 ft up from the knot with only ~ 20lb of force, either that or I'm stronger than I think!! The line has been on there for ~ 1 year. I saw little puffs of white when it was going to break so maybe there was degradation over time??
