Now Ditch I always liked ur posts as I see u as bein one of the most knowledgeable guys WHO SHARE on the boards.but
I never understood this type of logic. I would never tie a knot that I though would break sooner than another. I would rather bust my hump tryn break off than have to worry bout knots when fightin a good fish.Its gonna take all u got to git a fifty out of that current.the last thing I need is a three turn clinch slippin.I seen it happen before.I have 100 percent confidence in my knots.any thing less gets scrappped.Of course if my leader gets scraped up allitle on the first few casts It gets fished for a while longer before it gets changed.
so what do i really know.
