Sea Worthy Posts: 18 12/16/10 08:38 PM - 1 Limits 2011	My go to knots: Bimini twist offshore swivel knot Improved bristol Uni knot- My main knot for tying hooks, line to line and to swivels. I go 8 wraps on power pro, 6 on mono. Dropper loop for chicken rigs. Surgeons loop for the top and bottom of my chicken rigs. A loop knot that I don't know the name of that I use on lures. I love knots and there are a bunch of good ones out there, but these never fail me. More importantly, I can tie them super fast and in the dark if need be.

Sea Worthy Posts: 33 12/22/10 03:03 PM - 1 Limits 2011	I see most people that mention braid, mention Power Pro. To me that is the more expensive of the braids available. My favorite is Tufline XP by Western Filament. By comparison Bass Pro Shops has 100 yrds. of 10lb test Power Pro listed for $27.99. Melton has 300 yrds. of 15 lb. test Tufline XP for $24.99. That is 3 X the line for $3.00 less. A real no brainer in my opinion. I have used Tufline for over 8 years. I fished it here and in Alaska where it was really put to the test on some very large fish. While discussion of knots is the topic let me say this. Canoeman knot might be fine for mono leaders and line but it is likely to fall short of expectations with Spectra braid. There are two main knots that are used with braid. The uni knot and the palomar. I personally prefer the double palomar when using spectra. As for breaking strength, no, and I mean NO knot, will break at 100% on the line strength. Tying a knot makes it the weakest link. Most fishing knots, regardless of their name, have breaking strengths between 55 and 65% of the line value. IGFA tested the palomar at 93%. In my own personal tests, the double palomar tested higher than the single palomar while the uni knot was about 92 %. Now if you are using 60# leader and 40 lb. mainline and are catching 5-10 lb.# fish, the knot strength is really a non-issue. However, if you are using 50# mainline tied directly to your terminal lure and are hooking 100# fish, you want the strongest knot possible. As a testament to what I say, look in my photo album (http://jcarling1939.u.yuku.com/album/view/aid/73223) and that is a 160 lb. halibut caught on 50 lb. braid on Shakespeare Tigerstick 2101 and a Penn 220 Level wind reel loaded with 200 yards of 50 lb. Tufline XP in 350 feet of water! Last Edited By: jcarling1939 12/22/10 03:11 PM. Edited 4 times.

I just bought 150 yards of 30 pound PP at wally world for 11.95. I'm sure there are better ones out there but PP works well for me. If it aint broke......

Posts: 7778 12/22/10 10:33 PM Captain USCG Licensed NEW SMYRNA DELTONA	If we really get into the braid convo, I can split the topic away from knots...have no worries. As for braid, Shimano owns Power Pro I think...and they came along and really brought braid to the front lines. Your right, there is all kinds of braids, and some are real pricey and some are not. I am one of those that over pay...I have tried "Fin", used red power pro for years and now I am working the new Suffix 832. I have a high burn rate on braid when I chase at the bridges, but I believe it is my braid choice and knots that attribute my success. I go down with between 30lb and 50lb in tidal waters. I am not into using the smaller 12lb braid etc. I always love to hear what folks are using and why....Thanks jCarling and I am going to go off and look at your pictures now! Great convo! Just had to come back and say OMG, those are beautiful fish! I been watching Sarah Palins reality series on Alaska and she went on a Halibut boat and we got a chance to see how the halibut fisherman do it from beginning to end. We also got to see the line where they clean them on shore....very fascinating! WEBSITE T-SHIRT Store $UPPORT this site - BUY A SHIRT/CLICK HERE Last Edited By: CaptLeeNoga 12/22/10 10:35 PM.

Sea Worthy Posts: 33 12/23/10 04:57 PM - 1 Limits 2011	Magic Mike: Your comment about if it ain't broke may apply but since you made the comment that Wally world had a better price, I bet if you shopped for Tufline XP you would find that is is less by far than Power Pro. I have.
