Hey there TubeDude,
Thank goodness that the knot business has always happened to everyone else but me! heh heh heh
The place that I experienced the greatest backing/knot damage was on a fly reel's backing. The water, salt, and air all got to the braid or dacron in almost no time!!
Oh my gosh, don't even go where the tackle nuts (H's) start talking about hollow spectra, splicing needles the glue and the knots that will be the best for a given combination of braid and that... oh so important... brand of mono that will be the topshot and..... the knots that are the best.
I'm not a tuna guy so my opinions are worth about as much as spit to most albie anglers!
