Just done a strength test on my pike fly leaders and I’m really concerned about the strength of the fluorocarbon.
I’m basically using 30lb seagar hard fluro and 30 lb afw 49strand titanium so in all I’ve made four perfection loops and joined it all up. The titanium is great but the fluorocarbon snapped at 15lb then I tied a double overhand loop and it broke at 10lb. Am I right to be concerned or does it act differently under water or is there a better knot to use. I’m really shocked as I thought seagar was one of the better brands I am tying the the loops correctly.
