<br><br>As much as I hate to, I must respectfully disagree with what Doug said about Spiderwire. Or half of it anyway...<br>He is right, of course, about Spiderwire's eccentricities. Traditional knots do not agree with it, and it is weakened by kinking. However, the first problem is easliy overcome by learning one (two if you're ambitious) new knot. It's called a Palomor(sp?) knot and is very easy to tie. In my opinion, it is easier to tie than traditional fishing knots. Detailed, illustrated instructions on how to tie it can be found on the Spiderwire web site (spiderwire.com----then click on "knots"). The second problem (weakening due to kinking) is, in my opinion, offset by the fact that the Spiderwire is so strong to begin with. I may be missing something, as often happens, but, for the moment at least, I'm sticking with the Spiderwire.<br><br>Andy
