I have two Okuma 55s, and 45lb test howies copper. I tried the knot that bill bale and dave engle showed at the GR fishing show, the albright knot and that wont pass through the line guide with 30lb or 40 lb test berkley big game. i also tried the howie knot with both lines the 30lb test goes though ok but still sticks the 40 i can force through. The way i have the reels set up is 300yds 50lb spider wire, then mono, then copper, then leader. The middle mono is to hook to the boards. Anyone have any better ideas how to set this up so the knot passes through the line guide?


edit:
the leader is 20lb flourocarbon.

i have also had a problem with the copper breaking right at the knot in the copper. Am i tying the copper to tight?
