tasksta Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi all I have been chasing kings lately and using up to 50lb mono for mainline. What is the best knot to use with such heavy line to attach to swivel and hook? On another note is it common to be busted off on 50lb??? Thanks Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinkymalinky Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Uni Knot. Simple and strong and ties in 50lb line fine. As line gets heavier I just reduce the number of turns... I usually use 5 turns in line up to about 20lb, 4 turns in line up to about 60lb and 3 turns in line up to 100lb (any heavier that that and the crimping tool comes out). Cheers, Slinky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
