[QUOTE="Razorback, post: 213130, member: 6263"] I've never used braided line before. Picked up a box of 20lb Spiderwire the other day and went fishing this morning. I would have had the best day on the lake that I've had in a while, but the line snapped while I was reeling in 6 different bass. Four of them were pretty good sized ones too. It also broke twice when my worm was tangled up in some lily pads. I know one of the first things some of you will probably say is that it was the knot. I thought it myself. So I tested that theory after the first two breaks by coloring the line with a black sharpie about 6" above the hook each time I had to tie on again. No black marks to be found when I retrieved my line. I can fish all year with 12lb Stren and never break off unless I do it on purpose. I'll never stray again. I'm just glad I was using cheap plastic worms instead of a $6 crankbait. Aside from it making for a bad day, I also hate that there's now 6 bass out there with hooks stuck in their mouths. Rant Complete. Out. [/QUOTE]
