Thanks for all the replies. The Palomar looks easy enough for me to learn. My line was less than six weeks old but who knows how long ago it was made. I don't think the line broke, more like it the knot slipped. I will have a close look to see if it's in rough condition and I'll have a look at my rod guides as well. One thing worth mentioning perhaps is these Rapala dt16 baits do put a fair strain on my rod when trolling them. I've not had problems with other baits except for the odd hard snag which caused line brake. Thanks.
