Best fishing line?

Thanks for the info. I need more practice anyway with tying different knots and I will give that a try with the palomar. I basically use braided lines and fireline, seldom any mono, except an occasional leader and for very shy strippers in the river, so the whole cutting the line is a pain in the ass, especially when your changing lures like a crazy man some days as my eyes are going bad along with the rest of my aging body. sharp knives, nail clippers, a good pair of scissor, all have their little disadvantages and none the magic cure and eventually your basically cutting, or more appropriately, ripping the line in two - maybe those quote, unquote fishing line scissors are the answer but one more gadget to carry on the water ... got enough crap? all in all, the super lines are not a problem when your cutting off the lure and can get some leverage, but a definite pain when tying on and dealing with that small tag end and keeping waste to a minimum. discovered this by accident one day, years ago, when I made the loop to small to get the lure through and pulled on it out of frustration to get it bigger then noticed by pulling on the other side reduced the tag end and from there, like I said, no more cutting, at least while tying on the lure which again is the biggest pain. while your practicing that knot, give it a try, one less step and more fishing time, especially when there on. |
