Trap on, trap off.

Gracias! I had 30 lb SpiderWire Braid in the car, so I used that instead of the Power Pro Spectra. I got the biggest trebles Walmart had, but they are the RED hooks. Does that pose a problem for me?

Anyway, I tested the knot, using the post from the headrest in the back seat of my car, and a screwdriver on my end to pull on. I pulled HARD, and the right as the hook started to straighten out, the line broke. But it did not break at the knot. I must have been putting 50 lbs of pressure on that rig, so at the least I know the knot is good. I can't believe a cinch knot could hold like that using braid.

I'll tie the rest using the method in you video, if I get a chance to watch it today.

The 2nd video does not link to the tube. But I see the car you too to make sure the 2 lines lay flat as the wrap around. I didn't even think of that, because you don't have to thing about that with only one line. I may try some more today at lunch.
