You should be able to break off 50 and 65# spectra if you snag it.

Wrap the spectra around the outside of the spool, point the rod straight down, and pull with the swell.

Or the method I prefer is to wrap the spectra around the handle of my pliers or gaff and pull.

It's actually easier to pull out snags with shorter top shots, less stretch so something is more likely to give. Pulling out snags on straight mono ends up being like a bungee cord that gives and gives but won't break off.
