Ing4 - Your breaking strength is being lowered because you arent lubricating your knots. Cinch them wet and re-run you "last time tests." Hot knots are going to fail easier, sometimes you want them to fail
bottom fishing for example i dont lubricate my loop knot for my sinker, i want that to fail. Dropper loops off that same rig, hell yeah i wet em, i dont want those to fail. The sinker knot breaking easily saves trouble 😉
