Tested the line this morning: it is the f%#%#%#% PowerPro. If anyone else has recently purchased (1500yd spool 50lb test) of this red sh*t, test breaking point before using. I spooled it up last Dec and this is first use, breaks as if it were a piece of thread. Three separate trials showed the break point at 20lbs!

Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I was about to badmouth Shimano PowerPro for not sending me a replacement spool but thought I'd give Customer Service a call first. Turns out my replacement had been authorized but I bought red and red is discontinued so my order sat in cyberhell. The phone call clarified everything and I said send me any color then. 1500yds, 50lb test is in the mail. They're throwing in some marketing paraphernalia (patches/stickers) for the wait...

FYI: attached is the form to use in case you ever doubt the quality of your PowerPro
