makes sense
After working with poly quite a bit in the fishing industry I am pretty leary of it. The theory is sound. My solution to the chaff worry was to go way oversize on the nylon. 1" 3 strand to 3/8" chain. It sounds ridiculous but it made a very uniform transition with the shovel splice and the line was large enough that it was very easy to pull in by hand. It was for a secoundary rode too. Our primary being all chain 300'. This arrangement was fine for the west coast of us and mx but not great for any depth over 70' or so. I like having as few parts as possible in the ground tackle. The double eyes to eliminate a shackels is nice. Maybe oversized spectra 12 strand instead of the poly.
