err, I goofed big Chuck - The G is polyester, while the gel-spun is GX... at least I think that is how it runs... And the lighter trick works only (to my knowledge) with the gel-spun, as it melts it.  If you do that with polyester, well... Let's just say I'd keep my goatee clear... I hope this reaches you before you try the lighter thing.  Best wishes and tight wraps, Pete

Pete: It does not have that G in the rim, but I think you hit the nail on the head.. One of my main problems I've had since day one tying, is putting toooooo many wraps on whip finishes, cause I had a few come loose at first when they caught one or two fish, so, i thought "more is better" on the number of wraps in my whip finishes... So, like you say, instead of just tying off the knot, i was actually building a "head" and then, trying to tie that off, and it would come lose...I will try the lighter trick too.. Thanks a million, Chuck
