I buy good ones,fishing a lot of Pike(my favorite),after evey toothy critter,I change my knot,worried about fraying mostly.I run 3 bait casters and must change my lures 50 times a day,again depending on bite.Do not want to buy more rods and up to 50 changes a day,don't want to tie a new one on every time I change..Call me lazy lol.
