Thanks Scott, I thought that it was probably my knots at first. But
the line will usually have a coil in it if the knot comes loose. I've
had that happen. These didn't. I also thought that I was casting a
loop into the mono and creating a weak spot, but I didn't find that to
be the case either.

I have a book that shows tipet so maybe I'll take your advice and give
it a try. It just looks more complicated than the single piece of
tapered mono.

You're right I do need more practice.

Thanks again.

The line will have a coil if the knot slips, but if you have a bad twist in
your knot, it might break clean, and you wouldn't see a "pigtail"
