    Re: Best Knot For Braid

    saw a knot test on break strength once dont remember where but the trilene knot and polamar knot both had 100% break strength. no other knot had 100%. so either one is fine to use but i like the trilene knot because its easier to tie on cranks and spinners.

    Why is this rediculous (SP?)???? Again, not saying that the Trilene knot is a bad one!

    Re: Best Knot For Braid

    I have used a knot that my grandfather taught me when I was just a kid. It's like an improved clinch, but slightly different. I take the line through, loop it and hold it against the other line...then wrap the tail end of the loop around both lines six times, back through the loop and cinch. I have never had this knot to break. I have actually pulled out snagged 4/O hooks and straightened them flat! I always used it on braid, and it is unbreakable! IMO
