Contact Stren and tell them and see if there was a bad batch or
recall. Does the box have a date? Maybe it is old line that finally got sold.
Do you wet the line and knot area before cinching it down? If done dry
there maybe too much heat generated and it weakens the line.

I realize this is a fly fishing web site. I would be fly fishing if I
could. The weather in Northwest Ohio is hot!!! The bluegills are too
deep for me to get to. I have started fishing for bass with the usual
casting rod and have been busy catching bass. My only problem is the
improved cinch knot that I have been using has been coming untied. I have
lost several nice bass and I was wondering if the list could help solve my
problem. I have been using the improved cinch knot since day one. I have
never had this problem until just the last few days.
I am fishing with 8 lb stren and this is the first time I have had this
problem. Any help from the list will be appreciated. It is new stren and
I have changed the line several times. HELP!!!!
