Tight Braid V Set bottom line
Submitted by Blank Cheque on Mon, 2009-08-17 07:05
We were fishing in depth of just over 100mts when the reel went off. Unable to retrieve the third line in before it were too late we road it out and left it out there in the deep. After the fish was brought to the surface it was obvious that it had entangled the other line and cut through it without any noise coming from the reel with a firm but not tight set drag. So does the tight line generally cut through the loose line or is the tight line the one that is sacrificed? I would have thought the tight line would be the first to go. Have others experienced this?

it has happened to us in the
it has happened to us in the past, i think it generally would cut through the tight line unless there is a weak spot in the loose line. you got to look at also was it the line that cut the other or was it the fish you had on as we have had our 50lb braid cut by the scales of a fish we had on deck with the line wrapped around it so this is also a possability as to what happened, if it was a shark you had on they can simply bite through it without even knowing

running lines
yes we had running lines will cut through other lines if running out at a reasinable rate, try letting brid run through your fingers at speed its, just as sharp as glass so stationary lines dont stand a chance
