Thanks guys, I use the knot that Shaw Grigsby ties or a uni knot I. I am thinking that 18lb Sniper might be this season's line of choice, the diameter is about where I want it. I was using the same 1000 yd spool of the Abrazx and it didn't break on the swim jig rod, chatterbait rod or crankin rod so it had me thinking. I set the hook with a touch of anger so going up in size is probably a requirement.
