NUTS WTH KNOTS

Postby leroycnreds » Thu Jul 21, 2011 10:23 pm

When tying a fluorocarbon leader on to monofilament or braided line what do you prefer. Is a single uni knot best or a double? Or do you have a better one I should try.

Depends on line weight. When I used uniknot I always doubled the braided line. For heavy line - above 40 the albright special or the FG/Senile knot will still go through the top eye smoothly and are preferred reference talltails on albright special and i forget who on FG knot. FYI this topic has previously been covered in depth.

I prefer a nice American Brown Ale when tying knots. :20

Funny bunny :lol:

Is that the beer you recommend to you use, instead of spit, to secure the knots, Wade? :P

Uni to Uni with more wraps with the braid vs the mono side.
