Seems to be line strength as opposed to knot strength.  Interesting though

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,

Hi fellows,

Is the consensus that the Fish-N-Fool Knot is best or is just hype and there are better knots?

Thanks,

[Recommedation: Mid-Tier Carp fishing reel and rod ??]

Hi fellows,

I am currently fishing with my muskellunge equipment and thought I would acquire a mid-tier reel and rod for carp fishing.  I am considering the following reel, but I am certainly still open for suggestions:

Daiwa 23 EMBLEM 45 SCW QD OT  CAD $299

Thank you in advance,

CZ

In the Great Lakes and tributary rivers 20lbs common carp is the average size and they school in large numbers.  There are many 40lbs carp.  As you mentioned, carp fishing in Canada is not popular like in the UK and EU.  A large sports chain store called SAIL is clearing out all of the Blax Carp Spirit inventory due to lack turnover.  Canadians think of carp as garbage fish and turn their noses up at them.  Canadians prefer to fish for walleye, bass and muskellunge in Ontario.

Anyway, I am looking forward to catching some nice one's shortly  

Enjoy your day, Gents!

Hello,

Posting to you about Common Carp fishing all the way from Ontario, Canada.  I fished for multi-species for many years, but I am new to Carp fishing.

Thanks,
