HI, I have had this problem for this entire year of fly fishing, I may have had it other yhears but did not notice...whenever I tie tippet materials together, with the double surgeons know of course, and I break the line from a snag, the tippet breaks at the surgeions knot and not the fly, which is really frusterating because I am constantly wasting time replacing both flies and tippet material when I should just be replacing flies.

any help would be awesome
Ian

PS it breaks and leaves the surgeons knot attached to the heavier tippet in the leader
