Dennis, random surveys like this are interesting but can be misleading.

You need to know the number of blanks sold in order to make any sense out of the number of failures reported. Without that the company that has the biggest market share probably will also have the biggest failure rate.

Likewise, when comparing mono to braid you need to control for the experience of the fisherman, the type of blank, its type of use, and number of fishermen using each type of line.

I popped a Lami XRA 1083 using braid when I highsticked it.
I popped a cut down Lami GSB 96M codfishing with mono when pulling on a snag.
