I've lost fish when using the tag end of an improved clinch, 40 lb flouro. This will only happen if you have two biguns on. Without a reel drag to protect the knots, the two fish only need to pull maybe30 lbs to break a knot pulling on both the intentionally strong main line end of the knot, and the convenient tag end. But to lose two fish who can pull thirty pounds is enough to make me cry. I always tie seperate knots for plug leader and teaser leader, because I look goofy standin on the sand crying. If you use heavy leaders, which you should with teasers, they won't knot up too much. " learn from my mistakes".......longshot
