I've tried several different brands of monofilament lines over the years. Original Stren, Trilene, Ande, and Garcia Royal Bonyll. Does anyone know if the monofilament lines of the 1970s were closer in break strength per they're pound test rating? In other words, did the ten pound Stren mono made through the 60s, 70s, and later actually break at ten pounds? Or, did it break at a higher test of say 11 or 12lbs? I think most monofilament lines of today list a higher break strength than what's listed on the box? Just curious on this, because if I remember correctly, it seemed like we had more trouble with mono lines breaking when I started fishing than we do now and I've heard and read that they've changed the formula on these mono lines over the years.
