swivel vs knot

Re: swivel vs knot

When using mono I regularly use the Trilene knot, also have used it with P-Line Floroclear and it holds well but does not hold with florocarbons.

The four knots I primarilly use.
Trilene knot
Uni-knot
Rapala knot
Blood knot

Again I find myself going back and watching old episodes of Knot Wars especially sense I've started using more superlines.

Re: swivel vs knot

I'm by no means an expert, but have been taught that using a knot provides more action with any bait you use. I have used the rapala knot, but since was taught a different one by an old gentleman last year that is easier to tie and takes less time. It's probably one that is mentioned above, but my answer is stick with a knot, less to loose if your line breaks.

Re: swivel vs knot

I appreciate all your input on knots and swivels. I've had good luck with Palomar so I think I'll stay with it. 12 pound clear flour on a 6ft med St Croix powered with a revo s. Good luck

Re: swivel vs knot

Those of you who use swivels or tactical angler power clips; what knot do you use to attach them to your line?

The Palomar Knot is the strongest knot I've ever used to tie on my Snaps and my ball bearing snap swivels
