kingie chaser Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Hi fellow raiders, like most fisho's Im always looking at ways to improve my fishing & capture rate & fundimentally knot tying is no#1 on the list. So I am always looking at different things on the net to do with real world testing & the way knots are improved over time & when I was looking at youtubes came across this guy doing tests between 2 good knots in the modified Uni & the Palomar. Would 2lb breaking strenght make a difference between landing a fish or not??? Imo probably, any advantage is an advantage! I know there are plenty of knot tying websites out there but this website is also a good resource with comparisons etc. https://www.saltstrong.com/articles/fishing-knots/?utm_source=Direct&utm_medium=Knot-CTA&utm_campaign=Knot-ranking&utm_content=Misc#monosnugknot In the end we sometimes might opt not to use the strongest know in lieu of one that may be easier & quicker to tie under the circumstances(say out at sea on a rocking boat)but at least its good to have all the facts & the knowledge in your arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noelm Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 I have messed around a lot with testing knots, and the same knot, tied by the same person, in the same line can vary considerably, I personally prefer a simple to tie, pretty good knot (uni knot for me) over a knot that takes minutes to tie, and "might" provide a very slight increase in strength, that said, a sloppy granny knot is not an alternative.

Yes its one of those things where consistancy is key & making sure in the forming of the knot the turns dont overlap each other. As much as possible I try to tie the majority of my rigs in the comfort of my lounge room, taking the time to get them right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
