sometimes on the reels but like all of it with use it all works loose over time. I tie a header or 65 or 80 lb that is a great shocker but the glue gets beat so much goin through the guides that it needs frequent redo so I retie to be safe then reglue.I thew this up incase others haven't checked those knots in a while that it was better to be safe than sorry especially with more n more guys usin braid on spinnin outfits for tuna an big stripers.I was amazed that almost all the knots came undone just from hanging on that nail.A couple were glued with Duro super glue. Thats what I use for head cement on all my tail hooks an saltwater flies and it works great an holds up fantastick. the common point is the braid.Might just have been me but I do good knots with seldom a prob so I'm passin this on.
