Most of the time my drag is set around ten.

50# is a buffer

My issue is... if age, nicks, and wear degrade the line to half...suddenly I am really near my drag setting.

Not sure on the odds of two 1500 yard spools from 2 different companies being bogus.

I did the test last fall and left the line spooled. I am not a big fish hunter...but it would hurt to loose a pb over weak line.
