Solving two 2lb Test Line Problems

[JapanRon]

Hi there tubeN2,

On the 2lb test, what knot is being tied for what type of fishing? I tend to like the double cinch or Trilene knot (wraps twice through the eye of the hook or hook ring) for just about all types of fishing.

There was a wierd study done on the behavior of a certain pound test line when stretched to its' maximum across/around a number of different diameter hook wire, lure swivels or rings, etc.

Seems like the smaller the diameter the hook eye the more it is apt to cut through heavier or larger diameter lines.

I'll also change my knot to adjust whether the line if soft or stiff.

Only tie your son's arm behind him once he has already beaten you so badly for the day that he's tired anyway! ha ha ha
