learned the hard way. lost my favorite crankbait due to the knot breaking.

Always remember to check your line and knot for abrasion and always remember to re-tie often.

I always check my line and knot before going out and at least once while out and will re-tie after about every 2 or 3 fish.

Later,

ahhhhhhh.......... we've all had it happen :'(

but, now im sure you'll do your best to never let it happen again (as with the rest of us who at one point in time suffered the same fate)
