I've been using 35# Cortland Spectron on my Penn 525 mags and 980's for several years and have not had many problems at all with it. It does leave some nasty grooves in my left thumb, but everything else I've used does also.
I usually cut back several feet of line before every trip or after a fish gets me into the rocks, but you should do that with any line.
I'm less than thrilled with my 525 mags. They are great casting reels but I've had a ton of problems with them. Drags, eccentric springs, bearings...
I tear them down and clean them / re-oil & grease about every 3 or 4 trips, so it's not like they are being neglected. They just don't hold up well to heavy use.
