hi guys,
I fished for many years 20 plus years ago fishing tournaments constantly and back then we used Mono and Braid occasionally breaking a crankbait off but not too many times. Now, after retiring and starting back fishing I began using Shimano high end rods and reels all new and flurocarbon lines and immediately started breaking off lures with 10lb line mainly crank baits. I have tried every fluro line you can think of regardless of cost and just have problems with all of them breaking sending the lure flying off and its not the knot or the guides.

Researching this online and this seems to be happening with many people not just me. Guys, I do fish a lot but this just seems to be not acceptable to me. Is it just me or Fluro really just kind of a joke and way to sell more line to fisherman? I don't recall this being an issue years ago... Any thoughts?

What lb test and which for cranking.
Thanks
