Hey thanks for the replies. I don't doubt that many of you are having great luck with some of these lines, I have too. But what alarms me is the change in strength, please try a test on your line when its new, then several weeks later, its strength (talking power lines here) changes big time! As far as trimming the line goes, I do this as a precaution with any line, this is not the problem. And, I am using quality rods/reels, etc. If your using Fireline and its fraying, from my experience you may have lost at least half of your original breaking strength!

Hey RT, I propose we have a line test, what do think? I would be more than willing to conduct the test and/or help with the experimental design. What do you say?
