I have a rod in the back of my car that I use for pike fishing with 20# fireline, it's been in there all year. A couple of weeks ago I went to tie on a new leader, pulled it tight and snapped the line. I could break it with just a couple of pounds of pull. Peeled off a bunch and got down to some line that was fine. Never happened before. I'll keep an eye on it from now on.
