recently i have had quite a few fish breaking my leader at the dropper the flouro i use is airflo g3 i use the 3 turn water knot and i moisten the knot well is there anything i can do to prevent this luckily i tie my own flies but it happens too regular maybe another flouro make would do any advice would be very helpful cheers

Its a bad spool mate ,it happened to me last season and it was just a dodgy spool ,G3 is the best i have used by far.

cheers m8 was wondering as i like it myself just couldnt understand as ive just ordered 6 spools and was wondering what was happening not even big fish were breaking me

A mate of mine uses it and he says he never ties a 3 turn water knot with it as it kept snapping at the knots he swears by a grinner knot never has any bother with it then fulling mill is ideal for 3 turn water knots ive never had a breakage yet touch wood...

The double grinner/uni knot would be safer -- http://marinews.com/Double-Grinner-Knot-273.php


Dave.

Chance the maxima ultra green in my opinion its the best and alot cheaper than those over hyped flouro carbons,trust me on this the most successful anglers i know use ultra green all the time for trout,white trout and salmon fishing.

G3 is ****. YGA's Mamba or Fulling Mill are much more reliable.

Fulling mill fluro for me too - never had a problem with it.....although I was massively unimpressed with the Fulling Mill copolymer.

me too steveo tried it out it was **** high breakages try hardy copolymer slightly dearer but top-notch

Only had a dropper snap once using G3 and it was when I got a fish on the point at the same time.
