MuskyMauler...you are right...I forgot to mention that...however...I don't always have to cut and retie, I always run my tail end to the wire to check for abraiding...since I tie with the overhand double snell, and use a solid stainless steel leader of 12 to 18", all the lure abuse is taken by the leader. With the line doubled, I have never (knock on wood) lost a lure. One other thing I do is to use a lighter on the cut tag ends. It fuses the braid and also stops slippage of the knot should you not get it tight enough...but be careful to hold the main line away from the lighter...I've had to retie a few times due to not paying attention. Hope this helps everyone. Line stretch is overrated as well. I have really gotten to like the superior hook set you get with this line. Most of my fish have all three trebles in them when they hit. Best fishes to you all.
