I've got to practice that way  brice, Just did it twice and once ended  
up with fishing line in the nose.   must be blind or something.  the 
newer Line  Jim was refering to is a pain in the  backside  as it is 
like  light thread. However I am  trying to tie some  30 pound  Triline  
test   to a couple of swivels  which is what I use for river catfish. 
that line is much   thicker or it seems that way. for  plain old bass  
or trut  I just use the pretied   angler   hook and pre looped  hookups 
and no swivel. and of course   healthy  night crawlers . Lee

        "When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last,
"what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
        "What's for breakfast?" said Pooh.  "What do you say, Piglet?"
        "I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
        Pooh nodded thoughtfully.  "It's the same thing," he said.
