#584, "Line strain?"
In response to In response to 5


  

          

Since we're discussing it, I've begun to wonder, since this plug really is heavy, and you chuck it out as far as you can: after repeated casts, have you, in your experience, had any cases of the line getting stressed (or simply breaking off!) from the sheer load of casting it out there, time after time -- with or without a fish on the end?

I don't know what I'd be more afraid of -- the line itself breaking down, or the blood knot to a fluorocarbon leader slipping out? Your thoughts?


p.s. Sorry you won't be out there with us on Sunday. I guess your wife'll be happy to have you around for a weekend or two??? See you soon! -- j
