I'm still using it I got a 34" northern on it yesterday it held threw all the timber and teeth I just retied as I do after every Pike and walleye.

i would recomend yozuri hybrid for your spinnerbait needs. AND at <$12 im sure you can hide the purchase from the ball and chain.

When tying your knots please be cognizant about "burning" the line.

If you see any "waves" in the line by your bait, cut it out and start all over again.

Also, run your thumb fingernail along the line.

If you feel any cuts, nicks, abraisions or waves, cut it out and start over.

Avoiding burning your line when tieing any type of know with any type of line, excepting braid, is critical to your success.

What Sam pointed out is super important with fluorocarbon lines. Even good flouro lines will snap if you burn them even a little bit. I think a person should spend about 10 seconds cinching down a fluoro knot and wet them until they're almost dripping with spit to reduce friction. I don't think I've had any break offs since I began tying knots more patiently like this, but I had plenty of them before.
