This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Knots for flip/pitching with fluorocarbon?

Post by Tip-up »

Looking to expand my knowledge on knots with fluoro and was wondering how you guys are tying fluoro to hook on your heavier outfits?

I've also been using this knot for the past two seasons.
The only cranks I lost came at the expense of toothy critters.
Never had a break off with this knot. Touch wood.
I started using it with 17lb mono also.
I have been throwing heavy 1OZ Megabass I-slides and I-Jacks.
Need a trustworthy knot for those expensive lures ... so far, so good.

San Diego Jam Knot....

It is easy to tie - retains full line strength and works for both small and large dia. lines (just adjust your wraps)
