Zap-a-Gap

[Gotofish]

Tied up a bunch of leaders today and used zap-a-gap to ensure no knot slippage. Anyone else do that with their pre-tied leaders? Any cons?

I don't like glue on my knots.it makes a hard spot in the line that is prone to weakness.

If you need Zap-a-gap on your knots, or feel that you do...maybe practice tying your knots more.

I use it once in a while with no problems, especially on braid.

don't get that stuff on the mono. dries it out and makes it brittle.
i'm with larry. no knot should need glue. only spit.

This is the first time I've used it....I stand by my knots, just thought it couldn't hurt.

So now my knots with glue are going to be brittle? Do you mean they'll snap before the line or before knots without glue?

Good thing I only used it on the leaders I made today!

test 'em yourself.
hook it arround somethig stable and pull it till it breaks. thats the weak spot.

"plyobond" is the glue for mono leaders.
used for heavy braid to heavy mono connections for giants.
