HAHA what a joke! could you imagine getting a springer hooked up on that!!! pff! It would be upsetting.
I used to use stren mono for leader, 3 years ago, and even there mono had terrible knot strength, I have come a long ways since then on leader/mainline choices, but prior to that time, I used its product with what I thought was good results, never had problems with breaking. About that time was when I started to actually break the 8/10lb leader tying the knot, tightening it. It was weird to see how weak it was.
Not so goofy, as much as appropriate. Ive heard people storing there FC line in the refridgerator, getting more life out of it. And the two knots you mentioned are two of my most used knots. I run braid mainline on all my rods, and when I need a preleader IE to a plug, or spinner, I use a Double Uni to join them, and maybe thats why I was having an experience where it fished like it was a line size under what it was rated for.How long has the line been on display in flouresent light or how long.. period. I store all of my line in the dark.. goofy I know but a confidence thing.
JMHO
