Kinda how I feel about it. I have been using this method for the last 8years but I should take the time to learn other techniques, Maybe someday??

I have learned the others just use the taught line, maybe because
I can tie it blind folded

Martin/Mitochoan

I started on the tautline, and it is easy to tie blindfolded with one hand, but it tightens up so badly, and has a tendency to roll out over time.

Switched to blakes, then to the martin. I like the VT too, but not as much as the martin.
