I cut off like 15ft of my line and tried it then, it worked and haven't had any problems since. Anybody have any idea what might have caused this?

You need to use a palomar knot. Many traditional knots slip with braid, OR your hook eye was partially open and the thinner diameter line slipped through, OR something on your rod or reel was cutting it like the line clip on a spinning reel catching on the cast.
Been through all of these. There is a learning curve. But once you learn it, you'll love it. I don't fish with anything else. PP 15/4 for SMB and rivers.
No leader needed. At least for river bass.Trust me.
