Howdoo all.
Is it true that if you use, say for example, a 5lb breaking strain main line coupled with a hooklength of the same line, that the hooklength will still break off at the loop connection with the mainline, in a snag or whatever, due to the small reduction in strength at the knot? A guy I sometimes fish with says this is the case, I have always believed that a slightly lower breaking strain line than the mainline is the way to go re hooklengths, any opinions, experience about this?
Cheers, Michael.
