I wasn't challenging your not tying abilities, you've been doing it a heck of a lot longer than I. [sly] I was under the impression that it was breaking WITH IN the knot. With that said, I was suggesting a better knot. Different knots work better than others. Many knots don't retain the lines tensile strength, where as others do. I find it strange that the line is breaking right at the knot even still. I wonder why that is? Here's another idea. I don't know if you can do it, but can you use a leader sleeve instead of a knot? You can get them in a tiny size that wouldn't catch in the eye's of your rod. You'd just have to invest in a good pair of crimping pliers. Just a thought, I don't flyfish, so I don't know if you can do that or not.[cool][cool]
