Interesting topic.

I was breaking off regularly, on the knot every time (standard Palomar) using 12 lb flouro (won't say the brand). Someone suggested I switch to PLine flouro. I did and that seemed to solve the problem - no more knot breakoffs in three years.

The largest bass I've ever had in the boat was two years ago when my wife landed a 10-4 largemouth using 6 lb PLine flouro on a 5'6" spinning rig. This was in heavy hydrilla, and as some in the thread have noted, the drag being set properly prevented the line from breaking when I was trying to net her (the fish not my wife) and she kept running under the boat.

if your drag is set properly, and you check your line and break off a foot or so once in a while, you should really never break off. I know that when I do break, it's my own fault, usually have frayed line or didnt pay attention to my drag when starting the day.
