That's cool, I appreciate the feedback.

For big bait fishing, I think reasonably priced lines are the way to go. Expecting some high dollar line to last longer because it's more expensive doesn't really work in practice because inevitably the line gets damaged in some way that affects the whole line so you need to just toss it.

Today I'm contemplating taking the go pro to the pond behind my house and battling a giant log on video as a line test just so y'all can have a laugh. Maybe tie on a 2lb weight and do some overhead casting while I'm at it.
