Last week, I broke off my 7x tippet at least 4 times on strikes. It
broke anywhere from just below the knot joining it to the leader, at
the hook, and other places in between. This happened with two
different spools and types (Orvis and Frog Hair) 7x. None of the
tippet is old (according to the expiration dates, at least). The last
few times I broke off, I replaced the entire tippet - but it still
broke off. (Oddly enough, I don't break off once the hook is set.)



I've had similar problems with Frog Hair in the past. I never tracked it
down to my knots, age, improper storage, or the product itself. I stopped
using it.

I do know that the company sent me a stack of samples of their leaders, and
they came with instructions for tying a knot I don't usually use--I think
it might be the uniknot. I can't tell you why they do this.
