FleFly Braid

Does anyone have any experience with FleFly braid? I spooled some up this year and have had some issues. It's white microbraid that is supposed to be "virtually" invisible under water. It's not, but that's not a huge problem. Anyway, the biggest issue is breaking. Three times recently I threw too close to the button bush and as I instinctively jerked back, the line snapped immediately. Also, hooked on a stump it snapped with ease. I've used 3# floro that does not do that. With light wire hooks and braid in the past, I can often straighten the hook and get it back. This line does not allow that.
To be fair, it is fairly sensitive and I've caught 3# channel cat and a walleye with no problem, and it casts like a dream. I'm just concerned about the ease of break offs that I normally do not experience with braid.
Anyone else have experience with this line?

Is it breaking at the knot?

Nope not at knot. In fact, I can snap it with my hands by pulling quickly apart.

That certainly doesn't sound right. I have some K9 that is 5# and hair thin. It will bend out a hook pretty easily

have seen braid that will snap , not sure why or what causes it , bet money fle fly will do you right if you contact them though

I am sure they will

Jeff and I played with the "bubblegum" flavor stuff back in the day when he first developed it , was pretty hilarious to use stuff .

I had some of the old white stren that would snap like that & i'm talking 40 pound stuff. Needless to say one trip & it came off & went into the trash. I tried it for visibility because of using it in the blacklights at night. Now all i use diawa j braid in flourescent yellow & am very happy with it.
