    Flouro knot strength

    I tried viscious flouro for the first time. I was careful to keep my knot wet while tieing and have broke off several fish on the hookset. Lost confidence in it very quick. I tried a palomar and a trilene knot. Anyone have similair/better results? Advice if I want to try flouro again?

    Absolutely the best knot for flouro is the eugene knot and make sure it makes a pop when you cinch it down tight. If not cut it from your lure and retie the knot.
