borderbasser Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I was just wondering what you guys were using for your line to line knot for braid to flourocarbon. I have been using the uni-knot with some success, but seems to beak at the knot at times. I use 30# powerpro and 15# (I think) seagar or Bass Pro XPS flourocarbon. Thanks.

nova Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 I use a triple surgeon's knot. It ends up looking similar to a blood knot but a lot simpler to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dutchman Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 J knot is very easy to tie and hold really well with braid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fascin8d1 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 I also use the uni-knot line tie, and also having break-offs at the tie. What I realized is that the knot on the braid to flouro side (not flouro to braid), was too tight. That was causing the braid to cut into the flouro. I use 5 turns for each knot, but do not cinch the braid knot that tightly. I no longer have any break-offs at the knot like I used to. I hope that helps!

Vodkaman Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 The blood knot is hard to beat for strength, provided you are careful not to stress the line. In other words, the knot has to be tightened from the loose ends such that the 'fishing' line is not pulled through the knot. This mistake is easily visible when using mono as the line curls when it has been stressed. This line stress thing applies to any knot. The blood is not an easy knot to learn and it has to be practised a couple of times if you haven't tied one for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brine Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 and another.... http://www.floridasurffishing.net/forum/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=100&topic_id=551&mode=full I've used this knot for the past two years and have yet to break off. Maybe in part because I do more casting than catchin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
