I don't know the breaking strength of 30# Fireline, but it's probably far above what it is rated.

I use 14# Fireline on all my light tackle reels and it almost never breaks. I've also heard of line tests on the 14# that tested in to the mid 30's.

Although I haven't tried it in a few years, I've never been impressed with 30# or less Power-Pro. It seems tangle prone. I'll take Fireline on my VS150 and smaller reels, and 50# Power Pro on VS200 and bigger.
