fly snaps and losing flys?

[GreatWest]

wow! mostly 18"-20" where are you fishing? Sounds like the snaps might be especially good for after dark, I'm going to give them a try. The question is - what is the difference between 2lb test line & #7 tippet material (which is usually 2lb test)? I thought they were the same animal just packaged differently. My 2 cents on knots which you probably know. If the end of the line comes back like a pig tail then the knot failed by coming untied. If it just comes back straight then the line broke. I use an improved clinch knot for terminal tying with many spins. I was guided on the Ferry & the guide would clamp the fly bend, thread the eye & spin the hemo, make a pass through the loop at the eye, lick it & cinch it up. He did not "improve it". I protested & He said I could skip the tip if the line came back curly . Well that method does not work so well for me so I always improve the knot with many spins. Works for me only my surgeon knots are now suspect, I may go back to blood knots for my leaders & tippets. I don't know.
"the princess pattern, but I don't know" what movie is that line from?
