Line crosses over itself in every knot, that's pretty much the definition of a knot. I guess we're not going to see eye to eye here so I'll leave it there.

So because all of the braids broke about the same, this actually tests nothing. This is a classic case of reading into the review what you want. We stated that braided line has very poor knot strength and that the average across our 7 samples of lines was 49%. No where did we say they all broke at ...

Because it is not a test of which knot holds up best, but rather a comparative test of how each line holds up to the exact same knot. This test also eliminates the circumstance of failures do to slipping which is why a lot of people employ multiple wraps in their knots. Failures with an overhand kn...

What is the point of testing "knot strength" like that? It gives no indication of how well a line actually knots. Who would tie an overhand knot in their line? Most if not all knots used with braid use multiple wraps to spread load and increase grip.

I always have the back hand on the rod when casting.

Why?
