![]() ![]() There are many different types of lines which in many cases have completely different textures, sizes, and friction coefficients. So if you want to save time while maximizing your line strength, this post is for you. And if you’d like a shortcut, this page shows the results from my testing below to help guide you to the best knots from my many tests done so far.Īnd I’ll continually update this “best fishing knot” post as more and more knots are tested so that you can have the latest and greatest data. So I highly recommend testing out your knots. I am the perfect example of this because I was even fishing tournaments with money and pride at stake and never even bothered to actually test my personal knots.Īnd 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). This is the missing link that most anglers overlook because it requires time and effort. 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. So if you ever see the curly end after a break-off, do not tie the same knot the same way because it’ll likely happen again. Yes, the curly tag end that you may have seen after a break-off means that the knot used was either a bad knot, or there was a poor job in tying a good/great knot.
