Does anyone have any tips or tricks for fishing a sliding egg sinker with spectra, I use #65 and #80 powerpro but the egg sinkers always fray the spectra at the barrel swivel. I have tried using small round files and a mag glass to try and clear out any burrs on the sinkers but I still have the fraying problem. Other than retieing religiously or using mono is there anything else I can do to prevent the fraying?
