    The thin Varivas braid is amazing. Country mile casts. It floats like a spider web strand through the air as it drops slowly. I’ve never seen anything like it. My only complaint is trying to tie knots with it. My old eyes and fingers just dont work like they used to.

    I would agree with you, but then we would both be WRONG !!!!

    Another way to take care of that is to use jig heads that don’t have a gap in the eye.

    Another fix is a tiny, thin-wire snap...plus quick "intentional" lure-change advantage!

    Hercules 10# test is 1# in diam. - almost too thin for me to see to tie.
    KastKing 8# test is 2# in diam.
    Both abraision resistant and strong!
    Both cheap.
