I have experience the same thing with line almost magically breaking on one rod. Turns out that a ceramic guide had a chipped edge that was razor sharp. Another reason for line breaking is leaving the lure rigged during travel and having the tip of the rod acting like a mini- hammer to the line pulled over the guide and any hard object causing nicks in the line.
Good fishing to all. Hue
