Hi all
last year itook a trip to buy some size 6 hooks as i had run out and saw some Kords wide gape type as they did not have the drennon super specialist i use so i paid the morgage price took them fishing with me and when i had set up waiting for the " big run " i thought i would make 2 new rigs so out came my new hooks they looked very heavy duty just the job so i cut some carp silk 15.0 Lbs and put on a korum quick stop and tied the hair loop and then sent the other end throu the hook eye and did the kontless knot, made the ric then tied the overhand knot the other end the held the hook end over my scissors handle and my finger the other end to tighten it all and it went ping at about 3-5 Lbs and broke off at the hook end hook and quick stop went in the drink...so same repeated thing done away from the water this time and it broke again but caught the hook this time and it appears to have broke on a rough edge on the eye closure. and so i contacted korda and was asked to send the hooks and rig braid spool of drennan carp silk in the post to be checked a letter came back saying my braid was the wrong type for the job and not abrasion resistant enough but could i tie the knoless knot so that the loose end does not come into contact with the eye closure whenthreaded back through the eye to finish.....how strange is this the norn as i have never had to avoid the eye closure on any knot tied over the last million years ive been fishing comments please so i may inform Elliott Gray at Korda development dept....Plenty.C
