I do a similar trick with the knots. Jig knot breaks first , leader knot next , running line (very seldom) next.

I don't doubt the 30 Lb fireline has sufficient breaking strength. What i have found is that the lines less than 50 LB in the case of spectron and less than 60-65 LB for others will develop weak spots where the line crosses and gets kinked on an overrun. This only happens with heavier jigs , like 3 to 5 OZ , not with say 2 OZ plugs , etc. It doesn't break on that overrun cast , it breaks later at the weak spot created by the kink.

So actually after reading closely , thats not a problem since this is a spinner set up.
