mono or braid

[scoobe]

The thing about putting it on tight... it's supposed to help eliminate 'wind knots,' which are the most improperly named thing, but once you cast and retrieve you lose some of the 'tightness.' I have never had a wind knot with PP. I don't tug my line or look at the spool before I cast either. I must admit that I have usually used it with lures that provide atleast a little bit of resistance. I have not used it with something like a Sluggo yet which would pretty much result in a slack line retrieval.

One thing that I don't think anyone has mentioned yet... this stuff is so amazingly tough you won't be able to cut it well with a knife. Sure you can saw through it, but it is like cutting through rope. The results won't be pretty. The best thing to use is very sharp scizzors. You can buy small shears designed for braid. Oh and when you try to break off a snag, don't use your bare hands. You'll get cut very badly.

Oh one more thing! Don't use clinch knots with this stuff... they may slip. I recommend the polomar knot and when you can't use that, the uni knot.
