And then also tying the double overhand knot as done in the first test. You are correct in that I have not yet tested the Red Phillips knot. Simple, strong and reliable. I would also really like to get your thoughts on the TN knot as a terminal tackle knot. Either way, the FG knot will definitely be stronger than it because the FG proved to be over 30% stronger than the Albright when I tested those two against one another.

You are correct. This knot orginated in India by fishermen trying to catch the Mahseer. You tube “How to tie GT knot, single leader braid to mono. The GT knot is only good for connecting strong lines (50 lb braid to 80 lb leader).

Also, I learned the Crazy Alberto from Crazy Alberto himself ( I, by chance, walked into a tackle shop while he was giving a seminar and he showed everyone his knot at the end).

What are your thoughts on it improving its performance? I have tested a lot of FG knots and braid to swivel knots with 10 lb PowerPro, and it seems as if the FG knots are typically slightly stronger than the best braid knot I’ve found so far (Modified Braid Uni knot).

Monofilament line (of course including the popular fluorocarbon type of mono) has much more friction than braid, so often requires much less turns and twists compared to braid in order to be the strongest….

However, Gman called it different???? Before you tighten the knot, you take the loop over the swivel, hook, etc as in a palomar. The best way to set up the comparison?

I double the braid, no knot needed, then wrap braid twelve times around leader, tag end through loop, pull tight. I actually already did some brief testing on that because I thought the same thing, but I couldn’t see any noticeable difference. The Palomar Knot is one of the most popular fishing knots in the world. We also can’t assume there is no variability in the line itself. https://ww, Saw somthing you guys could produce and sell it was a coffee cup with nautical knots we need one with fishing knots.

I don’t remember the name. It may be known by a another name, which case, I am not familiar with it. If I’m targeting a fish that I believe I can catch with 10 lb line (which is what I typically use), I’ll use a 10lb to 20 lb mono line as backing before tying the 10 lb braid to it with the FG knot.

Thank you Luke, very informative, as usual. Much appreciated to you and all the staff. I’ll be sure to give it a shot.

What size lines do you use when you’ve spliced them together?

Reproduction In Part or In Total In Any Format Is Expressly Forbidden Without Written Permission, Simplicity And Strength Makes This Knot A Bass Fisherman's Dream. 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: 2. I do know this , I have tried this knot thousands of times and it thrills me every time. palomar vs uni, trilene knot vs uni knot, uni knot vs clinch knot, uni knot vs improved clinch, uni knot vs improved clinch knot, uni knot vs palomar, uni knot vs palomar knot. Start just like Rapala knot, simple overhand knot then put the tag end through the hook eye. Your credibility as an expert is on display. 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. 212 0 obj<>stream There are many different types of lines which in many cases have completely different textures, sizes, and friction coefficients. I’d personally use the double uni or the 6 turn surgeon knot because they are much easier to tie, and they do a good job at protecting both lines. Those knots are all very good knots, but they consistently fail before the line when under max tension when testing their breaking strength. You Rock!

Another very important thing for us anglers to consider for knot selection is in the identification of the weakest link/connection because that’s technically the only one that needs to have the strongest possible knot.

And when I finally did test my knots, I was shocked at the results… the very first test I did revealed that I was getting 30% less strength than I otherwise would have had I been simply using a different knot for my line to leader connection (replacing the Double-Uni knot with the FG knot… both shown below).

Slips through small top guides like butta. You need to perform your own tests on the lines you like to use.

P.S. (ie 4-6lb)? I realize the GT knot is usually for doubled lines but I’ve been using it with single lines.

I see that there is some misinformation out there on the internet, stating that the hangman’s knot and the uni-knot are the same, but that is not true. I’ve tested that before… the uni is better then the figure 8. The “Knotless Knot” Is the strongest for tying hooks that I’ve ever tried.
