I make my own harnesses during the winter months and after 2 to 3 years, it is time to redo them - mono gets brittle and weak from using or non-use over that period of time. I salvage the beads, blades, and clevices. When making them, I put a drop of super glue over the line wrap near the eye of the hook. Some glue gets into the eye and have used the wire brush on the bench grinder to remove the glue. Here is the question: Does the wire brush affect the integrity(strength) of the hook?? I know I have to watch to see if any rough spots/etc. are on the hooks. What else should I be aware of?? What line should I use in making the new harnesses - e.g. flurocarbon(?), fireline(?), what pound test(?). Thanks!!!
