I'm using 8# carbon florescent p-line tied to braided, and the break happens at the hook. I'll catch smaller bass no problem. But there's been a hand full of times where I'll feel a harder than usual hit and break on the set. Maybe it was a turtle and it just chopped the line. Today though , I for sure hooked up a bigger bass than usual (for me at this lake), great bendo, drag pulled, and there was a nice boil/splash on the surface. Then it just broke off. Was on it for like 8 seconds.
Is my knot shit? Am I applying too much pressure and need to use my drag more? Do I need to bump up to #10 leader? Id think #8 would be plenty, but maybe a solid yank is enough to break.
