";s:4:"text";s:5124:" It does fall in the range that’ll work, so you can be successful, but it depends on the manufacture lot of the line that you happen to have in hand. Then I have a stub leader tied with a loop or modified Palomar to the jig or other lure terminating 5-6 inches out with a 2-4 inch loop. After you cinch down your knot, give it a solid tug to fully set the knot and test its strength. Conversely, I had failures with the Albright braid-to-leader knot until I learned how to consistently tie it. I’ve been using the Canoeman Loop knot for years now and have never had a failure because it’s so easy to tie. You may have reached those assumptions through your own testing, or maybe justified your findings by following along with the logic other people had… because it made sense to you since you didn’t figure it out yourself.In many instances, this does increase the overall line strength for anglers who are using a lighter braid relative to the leader.Start just like Rapala knot, simple overhand knot then put the tag end through the hook eye. Fast and strong, and according to the fly fishing pamphlet, also stronger than the line. ABoK is also filled with weak and dangerous knots like the left handed sheet bend and the whatnot so that you can see and demonstrate mistakes.
The problem then became the look of the rig – the branches no longer stand at right angles to the backbone. Grab the weight, pull the line, and watch what happens. Be sure to let us know when you do because we’ll be happy to spread the word.I’ve tested a 4 turn “Surgeon’s Loop Knot” against 4 turn “Dropper Loop Knot”, and the Surgeon’s won which lines up with your testing. Keep that open mind! First, I use 80# braid for mainline–300 yds. The trick was coming up with a quick change that did not require complicated hand motions, repetition or heavy stress on fingers out in the cold and wet, but avoided snap swivels though I used those for years before developing this system.What type of mainline are you using?That’s the kind of testing I did. Trilene Knot. I have done a lot of tests so totally understand how much time it takes so your insight is very much appreciated.The Uni knot proved to be stronger for all line types. This means that when you pull on the line slowly, the braid knot will not fail before the mono fails, thus giving you all possible line strength of the mono leader. Every time it broke where the main backbone went into the coils. They only “think” they understand the “physics” but really are ignorant of what actually needs to happen with the knot.
Pitiful!
of braid mainline as backup. From my findings, the line used is very important, too hard or too soft and they fail… within range, they work. are “100%” knots regardless of the line used. Since the splice knot will usually be the weakest point, I want to avoid the splice altogether when possible and this combination means that the splice does not come off the reel most of the time. Even serious strain does not lock it.
The one leg gone on the doubled through the eye portion is a serious clue, but dissecting the knots that had both loops around the eye intact show the backbone broke at or just below the first coil at the top of the knot. Used frequently in Australia.Hi have you tired the knotless knot I use it a lot and it has never failed on me. It sounds as if the 100% knot type you’re referring to is a combination of multiple knots or a very long series of a long series of something basic.These statements imply that pressure on the line “will always” enter a knot.
I look forward to seeing the Newport Knot.After testing hundreds of fishing knots over the past couple of years, I’ve learned one very important lesson…In December of 2014, these two brothers shocked their clients, friends, and family by quitting their 6-figure jobs to start their dream focused on helping saltwater anglers:Luke – A suggestion – Have a separate section on Site called KNOTS- put your favorite knots (By now we all know what they are) in Alpha order .
I don’t think you have ever tested this knot.Thanks for the knot suggestions George! Yes, it’s easy to tie, even in the dark, which is why I use it, but it seems to me, the Hangman’s Knot is a much “prettier” knot, that does not crush. Have you tested the Miller knot?
It is easy and fast to tie, even in rolling seas, and equal to or better than every other knot, all things considered, in approaching 100% line strength, whether for mono, fluoro, or braid. In a brushy area.Thanks Jim! And if you’d like a shortcut, this page shows the results from my testing below to help guide you to the best knots from my many tests done so far.Do you want to know something that might shock you about fishing knots?I have not yet tried the TN knot.
