Why should I choose to splice my line over tie a knot?
Why does everyone like to splice line?


From what I know...

Splices
1. Uses a lot more line than a knot
2. Keeps almost 100% line strength
3. Tangle less
4. Cleaner looking

Knots
1. A knot degrades line strength
2. Aids in tangling
3. Uses far less rope than a splice

Any other reasons? Thanks!
