If you're breaking 55lb braid, it's more likely from shock and/or a nick in the line. The breaking strength of braids will often be much more than the lb rating of the line for a dead pull. But if you were to shock the line, they can break at less than the rating -- think casting off a lure when you get a wind-knot when casting on spin. The tensile strength of 20lb Fireline has been observed over 54 lbs. Similary, Cortland Spectron 50lb has been observed to hold over 83 lbs.
