[QUOTE="RUGER, post: 5066956, member: 275"] So I got me a new rod yesterday specifically for my Pflueger 20 I got back at Christmas. I had bought some braid for this reel. I wanted to try the braid to fluro deal and see if I could tell a difference in that and straight fluro. So the first mistake I made was trying to do this in the house with a 7' rod and low light. Tying 6# flurocarbon to 8# braid is a real pain in the butt when you can't see. Went out and got my cheater glasses and tied my very first double uni knot. I was quite pleased with myself that I got it on the first try. Tied me on a 1/32 ounce jig head and a bobby garland jig body and was ready to go. Grabbed another rod I had a hair jig on and went to the pond near the house just to try it out. THIRD cast with my new rig I got a little greedy and the wind caught the jig and put it over a low hanging limb. :mad: Eased it up RIIIIGHT to the limb and gave it a jerk. Pretty sure it wrapped around the limb 218 times then tied itself into a double granny knot. Gave it a jerk and snapped the braid with relative ease. Sigh.... tied the line off to an eye and walked to the truck to go home. Decided what the heck and picked up the other rod with the hair jig on it and cast it a few times. About the 4th cast I felt a little "thump" so I set the hook. Put her back and went home. :D I will try again I guess. LOL [ATTACH type="full"]70048[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
