The braid breaks right at the knot. You still the knot on the mono.
So if the swivel is at the rod tip, the top shot runs from that to the rig ? You won't have any mono from the rod tip to the reel? You lose all the shock absorbing stretch of mono with a big fish at boat side.
That's why its breaking there Rick...The braid is weaker than the mono..
