Cortland Spectron

I have tried the cabela's ripcord si braid. It was 40 lb test a 10lb. mono diameter. It constantly broke during my cast. The low diameter i feel caused it to wrap under itself. I just read the recent post on the cortland spectron and it has a similar low diameter. I was wondering if amybody has experianced any similar problems with this type of line before i go purchase some?
Thanks inadvance,

RE:Cortland Spectron

Saltheart turned me on to this line as I made the switch from spinning to conventional. Believe me I have had my share of explosions. I have broken some leaders, but I haven't had any trouble with the line breaking off on the cast. Maybe someone else has had a different experience, but I can't say enough good things. Good Luck, see you on the Beach <img src="/Images/Happy_Face.gif"><!--e1-->

Are you referring to the Cabelas Ripcord or the Cortland Spectron. Thanks Derek.

Fishpart is talking about Spectron. I'm sure he has never tried Rip Cord.
