I put some new trilene smooth casting 10lb on my spinning rod last week, the stuff IS complete bunk and garbage, the twisting isn't too terribly, but the line was beyond brittle and I found myself having to re-tie my knots every 10 casts or so because I just didn't trust the line to not break when I had a pink on. It's off my reel now and in the garbage.

Really...I've got it on my pink reel, no issues  ??? ???

I have it on as well...8lb...I really like it for casting.  I can chuck 1/4 oz spoon further then I need to with it.  Never experienced a brittleness with it.

Maybe the line you got was very old or exposed to some extreme hot/cold/humid/dry conditions.

It was brand new off the shelf as far as I am concerned. I have always usually run the XL Smooth Casting but I've very fickle about these things one issue like this and I won't use that particular product from them
