Stop using it. I really don't understand the obsession with it. You can catch just as many fish with plain jane mono.

i broke alot of flouro when i first started using it, you have to be much more careful with it imo,
i have to check my knot alot more with it too, especially right after you tie , make sure that you didn't abrade the line while tieing, make sure to wet the line before tieing with flouro too.
much less forgiving than mono.

I still like Invisix flouro. on Deep Cranking cuz it sinks and makes me think I'm getting my bait down a little deeper. I did go back to using the old basic fishermans knot with it and that seems to give me the best performance, I lost alot of DD22's and XD crankbaits and some nice fish before I stopped tying the palomar on fluoro. I still thik that Big Game is the best option considering cost and all around performance.

It may just be a bad spool of line. It happens.

I've gotten to where I fish braid on almost everything and I do not think it has had any effect on getting bites. The only time I would use it is in really clear or deeper water I honestly don't think it matters any other time I still boat about the same numbers vs fluro and mono

some of the copolymer lines perform really well and are easier to handle, p-line makes a good one. moisture is key when tying flouro knots. you can't over do it.

Get you some red label and wont be any more breaking issues. And the guy saying it's just as many bites as mono i think you are totally wrong. Flouro and tungstn make a drastic sensitivi difference. I can feel a bass if he so much as swims by my bait  .

If you fish quite a bit, you will need to change it pretty often.
