Not 100% on topic - I haven't seen Spiderwire mentioned so I will chip in.
We bought some to use with a FishSpy so wanted something reliable and beefy. We ended up with 60lb Spiderwire.
Just to be on the safe side we tested a few lengths. It broke at between 17 and 25lb. Always in the middle, never at the knot.
As a comparison we tried some cheaper stuff, on the same test. It did what we expected and broke at the knot.
We contacted Spiderwire about it but they didn't want to know, saying they only offer "customer service" to people in the US.
Thanks to Poingdestres for taking the Spiderwire back and replacing it with more expensive Whiplash for free.
Lesson learned was to test any braid for its actual strength.
