First of all I buy my maxima in large spools. If I didnt I would spend big money on line...I replace my line after 8-10 hrs of use and yes I do blood knot mine and have never had a problem.I run my fingers down the line and check it out real well before I decide to cut it there...To me it doesnt matter how much you blood knot on when respooling just make sure all the shiaty line is gone...anything under 15 or 20 yards I dont bother blood knoting and replacing anything over that I do...
