Quinte Fishing

I bought this line in 15LB last week and had two snags since and lost my lures each time from a broken line. The first time I figured it must have sliced on a rock or zebra muscle but the second time I had a 9" 12LB wire leader on and could see the lure in the rocks below and the line was clear of the bottom but it broke as well. I did not even get a chance to try to work it out it snapped on the first light twitch of the rod and which barely had a bend in it. I have read some reviews since this happened and seen similar things happened to others such as the line snapping on the cast. I have not caught a fish on it other than some very small rock bass and perch and was worried that I will lose another lure if I continue to use it so I bought some power pro 15LB today to replace it. I have 14LB berkley fused on one rod, 20LB Power pro on another and various 8 - 12 flouro on my other rods which I have yet to loose a lure from a break this year. I am going to give it a couple pull tests out of the water to see if it is breaking at the knot or somewhere else before I switch it over. This is the knot I usually use the only difference is I usually start with a second loop through the eye.


Any thoughts?

I just wrapped a piece of the 15lb around two screw driver arms and gave it a light pull and it snapped without any effort. I did the same test with the 14lb Berkley fused firewire which is similar as it has no stretch and it took three good heaves before it snapped. Something clearly wrong with this line...

I have used the 30lb version and have landed plenty of fish without a problem. Probably a bad run of line?

It's only advantage is that it sinks unlike other superlines. If you don't need that I wouldn't bother with it.

Already off my reel back on to the original spool. Was told I could probably return it as long as I had the original spool and packaging.

That's the right knot. I have had tons of issues with fluorocarbon, i now run braid and a leader at least 5 feet. I always replace the leaders before tournament day. Some time's will run a tiny swivel vs tying braid to fluorocarbon. After trying every fluorocarbon on the market i now use the bps 100% fluorocarbon, its the cheapest as well. (bass pro shops). I replace the spool every year, to hope fully get new stock.

Yep just spooled it on Friday fished on Saturday lost two good bass broke line and had snap while casting going re spool and return junk
