Tx for the input thus far guys. Yeah I never thought the 80# would break either, but it happened over and over, maybe 6 times in a total # of 20 fights with fish, and it seemed to be on the ones that were the hardest pulling fish- I am imagining the biggest ones. I guess the whole "weak point in the line" thing was happening. I was using white Power Pro line and a guy said I should switch over to non-white line so that if there is an abrasion on the line, I could notice it sooner.
