oh no. I just bought the same line from Al's. I haven't used it yet, but that doesn't bode well.
It might just be the way I fish, but I never have this issue this quickly with other brands.
I’m not a great caster, but most of the cracking is in the running line and pretty much stops where my max cast length would end.
A few small cracks in the head, but nothing close to the running line.
I’ve never stretched it since I got it and have used it on multiple rods.
Really too bad because I like the way it fishes.
