Snell Hook Tying Question

Problem: I am tying a Dixie Spinner. It is a double snelled line with two
blades. What I am finding is that as I snell the hook and pull my line through
I am finding stress cracks (for lack of better name) in the line. I am useing
Berkley Triline 25lb line. I can see and feel the stress cracks in the line.

Question: What the problem?

Spit on the line, or use other cool lubricant.

Two possibilities:

1) The line is getting overheated when you tighten the knot. Spit on it or
put some water on the knot before drawing it tight.

2) The line is old, and is suffering the results of age and/or UV
exposure. There's a _reason_ the pros still using monofilament change
their line after _every_ tournament.
