Its nice to know that Turner's allowed you to return the line. Did you spool the line yourself or did you have a tackle shop do it for you? Spectra is susceptible to heating and you can damage the line if there is too much friction on it as you spool it onto your reel. Other than getting a bad/counterfeit spool this may be the cause of your problem. Did you check the remaining line on the spool to see if it was also breaking below the marked test?
