What # test were you using for a topshot and what kind of knot for the connection?

Damn Bro!
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??

What brand 50 lb. Spectra was it that snapped ?
I recently bought some 65 power pro and have been testing knots. I have broken the line above the knots a few times now. I'm wondering if I got some of the older stuff. ------------------ Nice pics of the area. |

ouch. sucks to hear your loss. but i must ask how you snapped the line. was it a stale-mate battle that broke it? were you cranking in lots of line? was he still peeling drag?
maybe a tip for next time: loosen the drag. yeah the halibut will run through the kelp like tarzan swings through a jungle.. but the spectra will cut through it. dont freak out and button down on the drag unless you can see the bottom of your spool.
