Mono line help needed

I am tying spinners with 25lb mono. I am finding that as I snell a second hook
to the line and pull the knot tight the lenght of line seems 'stressed'. I am
finding a roughness and can see where the mono seems to stretch.

Is the line Im useing poor quality? Im sure my knots are correct (Ive been
tying for years).

Any tyers with a favorite line?

Not trying to be rude Jay, but what species are you targeting with 25lbs
mono harnesses?

This is the line we use for our Dixie Spinners (Walleye Rigs). I also use the
same line when tying Stinger hooks onto my Bucktail Jigs and as the line for
Tandem Streamers (brown & lake trout trollong - walleys like'm jiged
horizontal).

I will be making some rigs for personal use for surf fishing. I plan on 30-40lb
for a tandem drop shot type rig.

WOW! Again, not trying to be rude, but have your ever considered a smaller
weight class mono? I'm a tournament Walleye angler myself, and 25lbs test
on a rig is really quite a bit - at least out here in western Canada. If
you're really worried about the break weight, you might want to consider
something like Fireline or Fushion for your applications.

Anyway, to answer your orginal question, I do some work with a harness
company that uses line from Sufix, and I personally tie all of my harnesses
now with the fluorocarbon-coated CUDA Platinum. It was originally designed
for sal****er use (obviously), but I find it makes a tremendous snell
material. The break weight is consistently 50% higher than the diameter
weight class, and I do just fine with 8lbs and 12lbs test from this company.

Are you wetting the line when pulling it tight? I tie all the way up to 40#
test with a sliding hook and do not have a problem. As to why 40#, these
are halibut rigs and halibuts have sharp teeth.

Morning Cameron,

Do you fish the amateur trails, or are you new to the professional trails?
