Went out today caught 12 bass and had NO problems,, I backed off my drag and that did help!! 8-) I do think that the problem is that flouro has less stretch!! All of my snap offs came with strikes close to the boat, which means not alot of line out. So with a hard hook set and the drag tight :'( :'( :'( snapping line!!

how loose should you set the drag i mean should it give some on the hook set?

Its a personal feel thing, the first time I had it alittle to loose and I had to tighten it after seting the hook. So just back it off alittle and see how it feels!  

Also I do like the BPS XPS line so far its been working. I think all the flouro lines snap quicker because they have less stretch. I did a home test with a hook in a vise and I could not beleave how much the mono stretched, then on the other side the flouro didnt stretch much and would just snap. Its just a matter of getting used to this new line.
