I like the break away.On the last trip I lost 30/35# of lead.My buddy Dart lost 700' of 250lb PowerPro to the rig.We had to use the boat to break the line.10lb is kind of light.One good jerk and you'll break off. I tie most of mine with 40/60lb. Lead is cheep when you make your own.Filling Red Bull can's will give you 5 1/2to 6 1/2 lbs.Cost is about 1$ a pound.
