This is typical of dry rotted or sun bleached line.
Dry rotting acurs from being old where sun bleached line can happen any time. aka left near a heater or dash board or turnk of car, or just left out side in the eliments for long periods of time.
another thing you can look for is a scratch on your eye rings, or grove of your retrieving system to see if there is any thing cutting the line.
the other thing that causes line snaps on cast is knots in your line.,
and one last thing, I knew this kid once some 40 years ago who would reel in his line all most all the way in and in his back wind his lure would fall between the line and rod on the end of his rod between the tip and second eyelet. needless to say, he too kept snapping lures off in to the sunset..
the cure was to teach him to stop his back cast from a perfect up right over head to some kind of an angle and leave just a little more line between the lure and the tip of his rod.
