Will it fray?

[Root beer]

I cut off a really small piece of a tooth pick, just enough where I can pull it out the weight and my question is will the tooth pick eventually fray out my 20pound power pro braid line?

I want to peg my 1/2 ounce xcalibur tungsten weights for lake guntersville and been looking around at some peggin system,but I think i may end up sticking with the tooth pick, but since I dont have any experience using 'em I wasn't sure if it'll fray out my line and I'll lose a monster fish.

Tooth pick vs. tungsten vs. braid; no problem

I think I would rather get some Tru-tungston screw in weights.

Only thing I hate about the screw ins is they can tear up my plastic. Ive never used the tru-tungsten brand, but the lead ones I have just screw up my plastic.

I use tooth picks, never had a problem

Try a bobber stopper and a small bead. Put these on the line before the weight, then slide them down to meet the hook.

No probs with a toothpick especially on braid.Aint gonna hurt a thing.

I keep a large straightened out paper clip with me to pop out the toothpicks with so I can switch between pegged and unpegged easily.

I like the rubber peg-it type stops.  I know they won't damage my line.  Not so much a problem with braid but you really have to be careful when using mono/fluoro and pegging with a toothpick.  I found some at Academy and even cheaper than these in a 100 pack.

Im confuzed, can someone explain this tooth pick thing to me?

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

The toothpick thing:

Take a bullet worm weight slide it on your line as normal

Take a round toothpick and force it into the bottom of the weight

Break the toothpick off.If there is anything left trim it flush with scissors.

Add your preferred hook for the bait you are using.

Slide weight against the top of your worm/plastic.

Use in heavy cover or when casting pitchin/flippin into brush.

Can also be slid up the line to create a makeshift splitshot rig.

People complain that it will damage your line,but unless you are using like 6lb or less mono or some thin flouro it isn't an issue.
