You might also have a bad guide with a burr or sharp edge that is abraiding the line. Lots of "broken Line" events can be traced to bad knots. If your line had a kink or curly end at the break sight it was a bad knot. Some times a knot can be tied well but not cinched down well or tied and cinched with dry line that generates friction heat. Tie your line off on some thing and give it a pull to see if it's the line and do the same with the knots you tie and see if its them. You can also pass a cotton ball through your guides to see it there are any burrs or hang ups. Mike
