I have had the Amsteel Blue slip its knots a number of times. I have taken to leaving quite long tails or melting the daylights out of the stuff. In fact, I am considering whipping critical knots to keep them from slipping. I like the amsteel for its weight and strength, but it can be a bear to keep a knot in.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.
"Bless you child, when you set out to thread a needle don't hold the thread still and fetch the needle up to it; hold the needle still and poke the thread at it; that's the way a woman most always does, but a man always does t'other way."
