hi guys...ok...having reasonable success following the last bit of advice i got, but iv'e stumbled across another problem...line breakage.
One of my club waters has a braided hook lenght ban, which means i'm using mono of 8lb as a hooklink.
Whenever i get snagged, or lose a fish (two yesterday), the hooklink breaks at the swivel, leaving the knot still attatched. I use a palomer knot.
I wonder whever the line i'm using may have deteriorated in sunlight, and is breaking at the weakest spot. (My reel line is new and never breaks), or is the knot unsuitable for mono?...
I'm suspending my fishing till i find a solution to this as i cant bear the thought of carp towing my hook lenght around!.....(my leads and other end tackle are always retrieved or safe using clips etc)....any advice would be appreciated?
