    Re: The Knot ? what do you use ?

    Most of the time I use a simple improved clinch knot. Sometimes I'll use a pitson knot, especially for attaching droppers. If I'm using a streamer a simple no-slip mono knot or uni-knot is good.

    Re: The Knot ? what do you use ?

    Brad should use that knot to tie up Angelina, apparently she gets, uh, well, lets just say if she where a man she would be in jail and have her children taken away from her.
    I use a Duncan Loop sometimes but have been looking for one that doesn't come untied so easily, or maybe just isn't so easy to for me to screw up. Have tried the doubled over, double knot deal for small loops and it works fine for small/medium fish but it doesn't have the give to compensate for large savage striking fish on light tippet. Looks like that Orvis knot will soon have it's day in court.
