dont mean to hijack u tymo from the avet, but..one sec please..

Whats the knot configuration you are using on the connections Jim?
-if u are using a uni2uni, how many turns on each? same #?

The reason I ask is because when I decided to "finally" make this switch, I recently hooked up on something Really big 2 times, and the 65# spectra seemed to blow out my 30# mono/flouro ..
Not being familiar with Spectra I instantly stripped it, but a buddy thinks it might have just been failure due to the powerful shark?..
I want to avoid this next round...I used to swear up & down i would be a mono guy forever but I know i will be pulled into the forest 1 day soon & be very thankful of braid..

Thanks
