Hey Guys,
The other nights fishing we had a lot of bust offs with our 12lb line...the fish were big and were bending the rods big time...the drag was set so the fish could take as much as line as it wants but the lines kept snapping. I love light tackle fishing, but it can be annoying when you lose around 10 big fish in one night because of the lines snapping. Some people have recommeded me using a good quality 20lb small diameter lines. What do you guys thing? -------------------- FISHING beats Working

I think that Majed also gets a little too excited and does not play the fish too much.

Majed,
I recently changed to the improved clinch knot and have found that I get less lost hooks compared to a clinch knot. I spit on my fingers then lubricate the knot. Not into tasting bait and would not put the hook anywhere near my mouth as I guarantee just as I did it my kids would decide to play with their fishing rods. :o -------------------- Don't tell anybody but my name is Fushin Freddie
 I don't exaggerate...I just remember BIG! |

I almost exclusively use the Uni knot and sometimes the snell knot.

The Uni-Knot can be used in so many applications which makes it a good one to learn and its really easy and strong..

QUOTE (Rum Dust N Ruckus @ Mar 19 2008, 09:38 PM) for the clinch knot, or the improved clinch knot, I always use 7 twists and lubricate the knot...
If you dont lubricate the line the knots will cause damage, which creates a weak spot in the line.. stick the knot in ya mouth and spit all over it.. and ya get that lovley taste of bait in ya mouth! -------------------- Don't hate me, cause you ain't me... :)
