I use an uni-knot where I want it to break first. It simply cuts into itself when you apply a lot of constant pressure.

Just bring piece of dowel/broom handle to wrap braid around to tug with. Super line will slice you to the bone. Of course handle of Boga Grip works great, too.

I use 50 lb PP with 40 FC or 40-50 lb mono leaders most of the time.

Tie one up to a tree and do a test: see for yourself.

Wrong reel too...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Also, you can use your knife handle for this as well (helps to have a fixed blade knife with no sharp protrusions on the handle).
