How do they reconnect parted-off mainline? ...Knot? Crimp? Something else? Just curious.

COÑO!!!! Knot! D

A "Coño knot"? Does that involve Latin music?

But really... an 800lb mono-to-mono knot can't be easy to tie.

No! Disco... music.

I would think they would put a heavy duty swivel and crimp it together.

blood knot.

not easy when the line is new (stiff), but after a set or 2 it slides together with little problem.

Blood knot. an you got'a lay into it to. Part offs suck man, chased one for over 5 hours once off canavrel in some relly fast water. hard to make up time after that. I dont think we slept for 2 days that was a good april moon off the cape though I think we did 15000 in sword an 13000 in tuna thats a banger for fishing the dump. cmmon

you can tie them on he run and they don't too much catch in a guide or get frayed in a block...

Blood Knot! I almost said that. That knot is old school for sure. Never thought it would slide together with that thick, line.
