Has anyone had problems with Stren Superline
I tried the new Stren recently and was at first very impressed with the way
it felt, cast, and spooled. However, I quickly found that it breaks off
easier than the PowerPro that I'm accustomed to. Has anyone else had a
similar experience? |

| Really weird.. I have been using the stren super braid for a while now with
no complaints...until the last spool. I have been breaking off getting
snagged on shoreline bush's that should have straightened out my hook. I
also had two fish that i lifted into the boat and had the line snap 2 feet
up the line each time. I checked the rod for nicks on the guides and found
none. Even switched rods checked the reel for dirt etc. Nothing, I don't
fish a lot of rocks and stuff and mostly have used the set up for topwaters.
I can only think that maybe I got a bad spool. I'll spool it up again . I
had the same thing happen with spiderwire one time also. |

won him a new boat. He found to break WAY too easily. Christopher |

| I had 50lb snap just casting muskie plugs. Happened twice about 10 minutes
apart on the same morning. Line snapped about 1 inch above the knot both
times. Switched to my rod with power pro 30lb. No problem with the same
lure. I was very disappointed in it. |

| Sounds like there may be some quality control problems recently. Jeff |

| I agree.... I had no problems with it when it first hit the market. |
