I broke off a Chad Shad yesterday on 20 lb Big Game, what do you think most likely caused the failure?

Wait what? Swimbait guys retie every hour, spooling new line every trip?? That’s crazy.

Yeah, crazy. Hardcore swim bait guys might change it every trip but I bet you could get away with every week but why waste $3.00 in Big Game line every week when you can waste $60.00 on a lure every month.🙄 Or maybe stop being lazy and check your line and retie your knots. It doesn't matter if a san diego jam is stronger than a Palomar if you never retie either of them.

I lost an OG slide swimmer 175 in perfect condition on a submerged tree like 3 days ago. Still traumatized😭

When I'm retying a palomar knot most of my break offs come while I'm clinching down the knot.  I think it's either from tying the knot wrong, or not moistening the line enough before I clinch the knot down.
