I have never had one break, however my favorite in craw color caught alot of solid fish for me retired it this spring threw it out and all I got back was the willow leafs and the wire. cannot find that color anymore . lew's does not even have it, and they pretty much have the best selection around , glad to hear you all were catching them today . I was at work waiting for a call from a buddy saying let's go, so I could leave early lol, with fishing fever....
