What is the best Knot for flourocarbon line?

[imthemedic]

I only use Bass Pro Shops XPS and have never had a break at the knot using the polymier. Just like what was said moisten the line first and put a safety on it. Remember to retie every trip out and you shouldn't have a problem.

Chowing popcorn smiley? The questions is getting real old!!! Better yet do the research. Google it ...look up youtube..many more available online!

It's a great question! PLEASE note that not everyone is on this board daily. The angler who asked this very ligitamate question is new to our fishin.com community, so we should encourage him to ask any question. YOU can always just walk away from things that don't interest you as well!

Tie the Eugene knot and make sure it pops when you tighten the knot. If it does not pop then retie until it does pop. Absolute best knot for flourocarbon.

Polymor gets too hot! Uglyotter is 100% correct use the eugene knot and make it POP. It sounds crazy but the line will accually make a popping sound if done correctly. Easy to tie also.

Not sure what the Eugene knot is (it may be good), but it has been proven time and again (in many tests and tv shows I have seen) that the Palomar is the strongest knot...with several others coming in very close! These guys are correct in saying that you must wet the line first!

I've been tying a double Eugene bend (through the line tie twice), and then twist the looped end around the main line 3 or 4 times. It is stronger than the palomar with the lines I've been using, and can be tied just as quick once you get it down. I don't always here the click or pop, but it's still strong. In most cases I think the palomar is good enough though, but i might save a lure or two with this new knot. IMHO

Ive heard many of the pros including Gary Klein argue that this is the best knot. Its easy to tie, and yes, you can hear a pop when you cinch it tight.

Good question and the variety of replies proves that no one has solved it yet.

I myself am much more comfortable with a palomar on mono... thats one thing I can be sure of.
