Cut Braid?

[foulhook]

Nice to have a new forum replace SD FISH!

I have a penn fathom 40 with 80lb braid, while rockfishing somebody got into a bad tangle with me. The captain had to
cut my braid and retie it. Will the braid hold up if I go bluefin tuna fishing, is it worth the risk, or do I respool it?

If the captain tied it, it should be fine. If your nervous he tied it in a rush or don't trust the knot for some reason, bring it into a shop. If it is hollowcore braid, you can have it properly spliced. If it's not they'll check the knot and can retie it. What I would do depends on how deep the knot is and how much line you have on there.

Thanks for advice, and yes it was a quick knot

How much of the braid was lost off the spool?

[foulhook]

None at al

Replace. All be damned if I’m going to risk a weak spot on a $300-$1000 dollar trip, much less the fish of a lifetime. U
Keep the remaining line and spool it on a smaller reel or use it for backing on a spinning or fly reel.

I agree that is a good idea, why waste spending 500 on a trip and worry about the braid the whole time
