You have to remember that the polamar knot puts a lot of strain on the line. It will cause breakage especially if you don't lube it while tightening it up. I live on and fish Clear Lake where you can get bit by a bubba fish any time. One of the things I do to help stop the line from breaking is when I have the knot tied I put a drop of super glue where the line goes through the eye of the hook. Don't know if it helps but it makes me feel better.
