Got a new spinning reel yest and went to neighbors pond this morning to try out throwing a wacky rig senko. Was catching lots of fish only problem was line broke a lot. I used 6lb h2o monofilament line. Is this just to light of line? A few fish wrapped me up around some timber laying down and broke. Them it broke couple other times as I was reeling in couple of bigger fish. Used both a palomar and clinch knot. Seemed as tho the palomar held better. Any thoughts?

I use 30#-40# superline which has the diameter of 8# mono on most of my spinning reels. I add about 3'-4' of 20# fluorocarbon line for weight to overcome the superline bouyancy.
My ultra light rigs have 20# superline which has a diameter of 6# mono.
There is zero reason to use sewing thread size superline as it has very little shock strength.

It's that crappy H2O brand line, it's garbage. Buy some 8 or 10lb P Line CXX and never worry about it breaking.

Upgrade to a premium 10 - 12lb fluorocarbon should do the trick.  to the TFF
