What do you all think?

Allow me to offer a thought: If you are breaking line often, suspect your knots. A poorly tied knot can reduce the strength of a line by more than half. One clue is if the broken end of the line has a tiny, tight curl. If it does, the knot broke. Line that breaks anywhere else has a straight but thinned end because it broke by stretching.

Here's a great website that shows animated knots. Watch a few good ones and then take some line and practice, practice, practice. (Lock a hook into a bench vise and pull until the line breaks with the line wraped around a piece of dowel (NOT your hands!)
