hey chuck is it possible you got a "bad spool" of line, back when i was a little more serious about my fishing i was taught how to read "date codes" on line, the way your describing the breakdown of the line leads me to believe there could be underlying conditions that caused the line to appear low quality, i know there are a lot of folks that like it..

BTW, i was in a bind one time (of many[:-][:@]) and bought some berkley big game (if there were only one line this would be my one) i was out and all the discount store i went to had was the "clear" i always use the "green" big game, this clear would break like sewing thread, a friend of mine, who i consider very knowledgeable on such matters said the line had been in heat and UV light for an extended amount of time causing the breakdown, since then i have not had a bad spool of line, but i'm also not getting line that has sat in a suppliers store or warehouse for an extended amount of time avoiding exposure to elements that will break line down[:@]..

the memory, haven't seen very many lines that had what i would call low memeory, trilene xl always seemed like it was ok, but wayyyy too strecthy for my likes...[&o], ah the search continues for the perfect line

There are alot of good things about Suffix it Keith..diffently tougher than Trilene..for casting crankbaits..no problem..but Rooster Tails tied directly to the line or worm hooks...FORGET IT...Both my rods and Matts have big time memory coils..The breakage could be a bad spool though..I was shocked..and the break was weird..no evidence of line stress , twist or nothing ..just a perfect break..about 75 feet from the lure..I'm thankful I could retrieve my lure..It was an X Calibor Lipless..I plan to fish hard for the next 2 days...I'm fishing 2 lakes tha t have a reputation of 10 plus hawgs,,,It's still al little early before the new moon BUT all it takes is one fish..

Amen...I do like the 15 pound Power Pro...it is expensive though and I only put it on my spinning rods or flipping rod??Backlashes cost too much._____________________________
I'll use my baitcasters for cranking ...The diving crankbaitswear the spinning reels out ot quick anyway..

Never used low lb. mono but I've got 40 lb. Suffix on one of my Chesapeake Bay rockfish rods and it's good stuff.

Yes sir, I agree..it's very good line.My original thread was I was looking for a good mono line for fishing a rubber worm..I do agree that Suffix is great for most lures..BUT it does have great memory when using a Texas Rig after the 8th outing..I still will buy the stuff but use it exclusively for crankbaits , topwater and spinnerbaits..I will leave the Texas Rig for 15 pound Power Pro.
