Braid tangles

#1 Post by alancooper »

The cut end of a braid join knot are sharp and can pull braid off a reel. To reduce tangles, I have found that chewing the ends to soften them helps.

Good idea.

Even better, chew them, dry them, instant glue them.

My wife just found me nibbling on my line, so simply turned around said nothing and left. I think she's keeping notes on my behaviour.
