Common mistakes
- • Tying it dry — friction burns the line and costs half its strength.
- • Too few wraps on thin line, too many on thick line.
- • Yanking tight, which stacks the coils crooked.
Keep in mind
- • Not the right knot for braid; braid slips out of clinches.
- • Re-tie after every fish over a couple of kilos or any snag.
