I tie an improved clinch knot. Never had any problems with any other line. It's not a slip for sure. The line would come back frayed at the end.
Read some Amazon reviews and it seems that a few other people are having the same problem.

I use Penn Battle 2000 with Super Slick (30lb). I can only tie an improved clinch and have yet to lose a lure from the knot. For my improved clinches, I do two things, either leave a long tag end about 1/4" or burn the end into a ball. I find that most people cut the tag too close and it will slip until a certain point... if tag isnt long enough, the knot fails. Cheap braid scissors (one blade serrated) has no problem cutting it.
I am a master wind knot tying champion.

improved clinch knot
also amazon reviews are suspect at best. I understand some people dont like it, but i have never had the problems and i have been offshore fishing with it for a few years.
quote:i agree with this! my knotes were failing and this is what i came to the conclusion of. Once i started leaving more of a tag i never lost a knot.

Ordered the stradic. I burn through the cheap reels and it's frustrating when you have a fish hooked and something fails. My wife does have a cheap quantum that has outlasted cheap shimanos and other brands
