I have had bad luck with the Rapala knot weakening and eventually breaking
where it had rubbed & chafed against the eye of the lure. Conversely, I have
never had a real Duolock snap open on me during use. But then again, I have
never broken a rod either. Maybe it's just the luck of the draw?

Learn to tie a Rapala knot,Gives the action you are looking for, and
