Just wondering how this faired in your testinghow good is the hook nail knot? That's what makes it the knot of choice for many bass fishermen. Re-rigged all of my lines with the FG knot for braid to flouro and very impressed with the difference in diameter. This is of utmost importance as to why +100% knots don’t break. I double over the leader and tie the Bristol around it. It’s been nice conversing with you, Luke. I do know this , I have tried this knot thousands of times and it thrills me every time.
Ive been using the “tie-fast” tool that ties the nail knot for the last several years.
I then splice on a 50# mono top shot about 150 yds. Disclaimer: Any activity involving rope can be dangerous and may even be life threatening! There is no such thing as a +100% braid knot due to braid characteristics, but it’s not required if you can tie a knot that “acts” like it’s +100%.I just saw your pics… looks like a great setup!
Take P-line for instance. The difference between a Good knot and a Great knot requires the act of intentionally breaking them under a controlled test to see how much tension they can hold before the break occurs.Have you ever tested if there are different breaking strengths/reliability when tying different types of snell knots?
The problem with people who don’t know how to tie a +100% knot is that they don’t really understand what it takes to do it. Good luck“eye-crosser” with 3 loop Uni instead of two, for mono to swivel or hook.
I also tested full setups soaked in water overnight (+8 hrs) to see what effect that would have.
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. Is this true? Beats tying on every lure you use. I’ll add it to our list of updates to make is these fishing knot tutorials.I would also like to see how the different ways to tie the snell knot test.Hey Salt strong idk if you saw my email but my theory is when you tested your braid palomar against the braid uni it won the first time because the loop was on the knot but the rest of the time you had the loop above the knot and was wondering if you could test if having the loop on the knot increases strength and may outperform your braid uniHey will you test the worlds fair knot? any tips on swivels or clips that make lure change easier without hindering action or deterring fish.This setup is becoming very common because it allows for the overall system to have optimal casting performance (due to the lighter line in the reel) while having a stronger leader line at the business end to hold up to the sharp teeth and/or rough mouths of the target species.Thanks so much for leaving the nice comment. The retention capacity goes up even more … )Thanks for letting me know.
It’s never slipped on me, what a knot!! To date I’ve probably tied well over 16,000 knots to both reassert and verify my setup through the years, and sometimes, just for the fun of breaking mono line! I got back a “curly end” once, because I didn’t tie it well enough.
So they have absolutely zero motivation to learn any other knots or invest in any other fishing lines.With a mono to mono connection, the most streamlined option that I know of is the Blood Knot.Could you please evaluate the Penny Knot. As it is, I have some spares sitting in my bag that are over 2 years old.
Re the “Alberto” knot you reference, other names include the Modified Albright/RP/John Collins/Improved Bristol.
Symptoms started 45 years ago while growing up a commercial fisherman, so I have long sought to avoid tying knots in the field whenever possible. Many anglers have lost lures due to this knot strength and tying problem. The Best Trilene XL Ever! The Trilene Knot is a hitch knot that was developed in conjunction with the Berkley Fishing company, which is why the knot is known by the same name as Berkley’s brand of fishing line. Conversely, I had failures with the Albright braid-to-leader knot until I learned how to consistently tie it. I was using seguar blue, tried seguar premium and now a softer advance…same resultsThose knots are all very good knots, but they consistently fail before the line when under max tension when testing their breaking strength.So only use a leader that is a thicker diameter then the braid correct?
