PowerPro vs. Stren Super Braid

I have been using Powerpro on most of my reels, but since I have heard
some good things about Stren Super Braid, I bought a box to try out. I
spooled it up and forgot about it because I hadn't had a chance to get
out due to work. Thursday I finally went out to hook a few. Tied on a
large spinnerbait, caught a couple, went to cast a little further this
time, SNAP! Spinner flew even further than intended, cause it wasn't
attached to my line anymore. I figured that I should have retied
anyway, tied on a new bait, and SNAP! This time I was getting angry. I
decided maybe I had scraped against something underwater, and removed
10 or 15 feet of line. Tied on another lure, went to cast, and SNAP!
Stopped and thought about something besides that next fish, and
realized that this wasn't my old faithful PowerPro, but it was the reel
I spooled with Stren. I had only brought one other rod with me, so I
continued to use it some, but I was very careful not to try to get full
distance out of each cast. I caught some nice fish with it, including a
5 lb'er without any more breakoffs. I guess it just can't stand that
quick jerk on a long cast attempt. Did I get a bad spool, or is all the
Stren Super like this? I think I'm going to TOSS the Stren and CAST
with PowerPro.
