Re: Fishing Rod Debate
Last year my line was snapping at the knot. I tried many different knots like the trilene, palomar, double palomar, and a few others. In the end I'm writing it off as bad line. I bought a second spool with a slightly higher test with the same results. Of course I bought it from the same store. Too bad, I really liked the fireline up until that point. Now I'll be reluctant to ever buy it again.
With busting fishing line, if the reel drags are set correctly and the line is breaking, it's crap. I change my line often and only had problems 1 time... Gorilla Braid about 15 years ago, it would fray right at the top guide and bust after 20-30 casts. After loosing several spoons I figured I had better strip it off,,, I was down to my last 5-of-Diamonds
