Do not like braided lines. The feel on other end isnt great, and doesnt have enough give. Also, when cutting it with a knife. you better have a lair of shears. You know us fly fishing dudes like our knots. You can forget tying a blood knot with braided.

I almost never tie direct with braid but in the few times I have a double looped uni knot with 10 turns seemed to be ok as was a San Diego jam. I do throw a fair amount of braid to leader and that'll use a Crazy Alberto connection.

Depends on the application….I like it when fishing grass (Guntersville/Chick…..other than that, I prefer floro/mono.

I use it for almost everything. The sensitivity when cranking is awesome. Have to keep in mind the no stretch so I don't use on any fast action rods. Knot tying I agree with, the only knot I have confidence in is the old polamor (sp) knot. I grew up using 12# stren and that's only because Bill Dance told me to. I've actually become very fond of all suffix lines, their mono is top notch too. I use it for my worm rods.

It just hit me that my wife had me ask off next Friday for a surprise birthday getaway, which I was excited about, but now realize it's also the greatest weekend of college basketball all year...

I hate to say Id entertain using super glue on a knot for braid.

I always thought an underrated part of his game was how good he was at slapping the defenders hands down. Hard to tackle a guy if you can’t get your hands on him

Can’t say I really noticed that but it makes sense. Other players of that era credited him for being natural whilst employing all the little tricks. Never seemed like he took anybody’s full shot no matter what angle they had on him.

You still have the upper hand, since it's a surprise. Tell her thanks for reminding you to get off so you could watch basketball all weekend on your b-day.
