Location: South Portsmouth, KY | Whats up guys. I am wanting to know because mine always breaks, What is the best and strongest knot that i can tie to my reel spool. I just know that one of these days i will get a big muskie on and it will stip all of my line and break my spool knot. Thanks for all of the information. |

Location: Holly, MI | Are you using a small capacity reel? How much line are you putting on your reel? Is it too light of line that you cant use the drag effectivly? I put maybe 50 yds of 20 lb mono on for backer then about 100 yds of 65 lb power pro. Maybe I should ask how far can you cast? I have never come close to seeing my backing and I would trust my blood knot there if need be. |
