Default Re: knots

I also use the Polamar knot 90% of the time.
I have vision and dexterity issues with my hands and fingers and the knot is probably the easiest knot to tie.
Very simple very strong. I haven't lost a fish due to a failed knot in an extremely long time.
The Key to any knot is take your time and LUBE that line!!!!
I slobber saliva all over it and that keeps the line from heating up and weakening the knot.

THE WETTER THE BETTER!!!!!!

Quick tip for some guys, mainly trollers but anyone can benefit from this tip: Pre tie your leaders.....!!!!
It's a hell of a lot easier sitting at the table or on the couch tying leaders rather than on the water.
Efficiency is key to sucess!
By having your rigs pre tied and ready to go if you need to change a hook it takes about ten seconds and your back in the water.
If your doing it on the water your pulling out all your stuff and then riggin sometimes in poor conditions as well. (Wind/Rain/Darkness)
You might be on a hot bite or a small area and this tip will have you back in action in seconds instead of several minutes!!
You can tie several different lengths, hook sizes etc from trout sized to musky size all at your hands.
Buy a pool noodle or some type of styrofoam cut it into pieces and wrap several around it and store it in a plastic box or you can just put one in a ziplock bag and make several that way too.

May be the difference between catching one or two fish and five or more!!!!
DAMN, I GOTTA QUIT GIVING MY SECRETS TO SUCCESS AWAY!!!!!!!!
