Last summer I lost few senkos and spinner blade this way. The soft
plastics just tore off the hook and the spinner blade broke at the swivel.
So it wasn't the knot ... Oh, and yes, one Heddon Spook flew away, but it
was my fault because I tied it with uni loop. I use
Spiderwire "stealth" 20/6 and it seems it holds the regular palomar knot
just fine.

I usually cast a long way with a very strong "snap" of my wrist. It is
necessary here on the TX Gulf coast and beside, I like it! Yesterday, I
SNAPPED a spinnerbait right off of the line.

Over the years, I've lost more lures during casting with ANY superline then
I ever lost with any mono. I know that mono gives me some stretch, so my big
SNAP cast (when I get a backlash) doesn't always break off.

Am I the only guy with this complaint about Superlines? I'm using 30 lb with
8 lb diameter. I usually use ten pound mono???
