I was wondering what is the actual breaking point/strength of fireline's 10/4 and 14/6 lines? Also, which line has less memory or is easier to work with? thanks

I think that the breaking point is at least as high as the "label strength" and probably a bit more. I have found that most often I pull the knots out before the line breaks. Even with a Palomar or Improved Cinch you have ~90% of the line strength. I love the Fireline for jigging and rigging (6/2) and for casting cranks (10/4). For trolling I have been running Whiplash just because the line isn't as slimy as fireline. Let me know if you have any further questions!
