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.
