I purchased new reel. Put 30 pound power pro on it. Went fishing and hooked up on some kind of fish that ran my line like crazy!!!. I then set the hook and SNAP! this happened to me over 5 times!!! It seems to snap at where i tie my swivel. Does anyone know of a knot that can hold? Thanks in advance!

Re: Suggestions of knots for braided line.
Try a surgeon's loop for swivel, very simple knot and it should hold just fine.

Re: Suggestions of knots for braided line.
Sounds like you hooked a bat ray. I use a Palomar Knot. By the way, PP is known for mysterious breakoffs among offshore anglers. I use Momoi Diamond, Daiwa Samurai, or Jerry Brown Spectra. A lot of people use Suffix 832 and swear by it.
