This past weekend I was broken off twice. Both times my tippet broke at the connection between my sinking tip and tippet. Specifically, the loop knot I made to connect to the sinking tip broke right at the knot after I set the hook and the water erupted 45 yards downstream. All I could do was sidestep my line as it shot back in my direction...
So, I'm wondering what knot and weight tippet others use for the loop to loop connection between sinking tip and tippet, especially for winter SH. Day 1 broke a 8 lb maxima, perfection loop. Day 2 broke 10 lb maxima, perfection loop. I think it was me using the perfection loop. I'm now using the salt water/Kreh loop knot for all winter SH fishing. But I could be wrong. Any recommendations? Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
