A bad knot?

[davetclown]

its not on all of the boxes but usualy there is an incert if there isnt.

if you ever get a chance to try the polimer knot you will be impressed at its strenth and ease and speed the knot provides.

all the tourny anglers use the polimer knot for that vary reason.

try this on a two pound test line tie a polimer knot and hold the hook with a pair of pliers and with a glove on the othr hand rap the line around your gloved hand leaving ahout 2-3 feet from the hook and glove. Pull the line and hook and you will be surprised that the line will break before the knot will.

I still retie my hooks after every battle stripping about a foot or two off the line or I make a new leeder. (usualy I pack extra home made leeders so all I have to do is change it at the swivle. But when I am ice fishing or fly fishing it is direct line to the hook fly or jig.

but once you start tieing the polimer knot you will vary seldom go back to the other knots. and it is the easyest to remember.

there is another knot I use it is called a snell knot (not sure if it is the proper name) you will find this knot on store bought snell leaders. I have to change the leader on those knots as well every 25 gills or so.

I have reitried hooks and jigs after catching two or three hundred fish they loose there barbs and there is not much left to resharpen.

if you send me you mailing address through a privet message I will mail you that card I scanned and loaded up here on my earler post.
