Spottie rigging?

Question for those who use straight braid:

When you get a good hang up and have to break off, does it break at the knot or in the middle?

I always use a mono or fluorocarbon leader because it will always break there

It breaks where I cut it

Yea I try not to use straight braid anymore. Need gloves on just to pull on that stuff without cutting my hands. #65 is tough to break while on the yak.

When I'm in the bay and I get hung up, I end up straightening my hooks before breaking straight braid. Not saying I'm superman haha I just use really thin hooks
