I think it was my fault. I accidentally stepped on the very same area it broke last week while bank fishing on rip-rap. I was astounded that it didn't break at the time. It appeared to have held up and I landed a few fish on it since.

When the big catfish hit yesterday, I think it stressed the area I accidentally stepped on and it simply gave out. So no, I think the 2lb SOS line had nothing to do with the break.
