Were these 3 casts among your personal bests as far as distance goes?............smile

LOL OT, expensive failures but much rather loose a few lures than a good fish. SO... I call that learning the semi-easy way. .

Ken, your post helped me understand the elements of knots and why they fail. Wicked explanation for how your knot works.

I call that not listening to Ken's prior advise and making mistakes your own way.

I've warned you about it...I've used it before and had it fail...and I don't trust either Albright or Alberto anymore. You're always looking for the easy way out with a simple and quick to tie knot. But look at the knots that GT and tuna anglers use to connect their braid to leader. Those guys don't mess around because their fish certain don't mess around. If you want to learn, learn from the BEST.
