Hi fellows,
I am glad somebody responded to my post
As a youngster, before the Internet, I only knew the Fisherman's Knot, so I used that. It was not a bad knot, but certainly not as well structured as some of the high-end knots available. As a young adult I switched to the Palomar Knot, this was when the Internet was just starting to become popular, so I found this new knot. I have never used the Double Palomar Knot, but I understand that it is stronger than the original Palomar Knot.
Some of you may have heard about the Knot Wars videos published around 2008 to 2010 by Berkley Fishing. My understanding is the Berkley Braid Knot beat the previous years winner the Fish-N-Fool Knot in this championship video. 😱
I do agree with salokcinnodrog that testing knots with monofilament, fluorocarbon and braid may cause different results, but the top several knot contenders should remain the same regardless of line type.
I am surprised that no one has done a new Knot Wars type video with different line types and knots! Seems like something someone would be interested in doing out there in Internet land ⁉️
Thank you,
CZ 👾
