Guest Anonymous Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Does anyone know the best knots for flourocarbon? the ones i do seem to make the line just above the knot go curly, even with saliva. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfishmad Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Grinner and Palomar knots are the two knots I favour for the majority of my fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robaldinho Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 either straighten the line over steam or rub it on your knee so that the friction causes it to heat up and it straightens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I dont want the hooklink straighten because im on about chod rigs, and im sure its due to strangulation of the line thats causing it so its the knot that needs sorting.

bigfishmad Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Michael what type of fluoro are you using? What are you tying to, what knots are you currently using? questions questions lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinger Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 It could possibly be, that your not pulling the knot through tight enough. Try pulling through with pliers if you haven't already tried. Alternatively, you could try the Uni knot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted January 3, 2007 Report Share Posted January 3, 2007 Hi everyone thanks for the replys but ihave found a way round it which make the rig easier to tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted January 4, 2007 Report Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ive ordered some Quick Link Heli-Swivels, i can tie a figure of 8 loop now to attatch them instead of tying it direct to the swivel. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtz Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Ive ordered some Quick Link Heli-Swivels, i can tie a figure of 8 loop now to attatch them instead of tying it direct to the swivel.  Yep they're very good links, and good value at £2 50 for ten and ten silicon sleeves.  You may have to trim down the sleeves a bit for using a chod as they are abou 5cm long.

neilscatchin Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I find a 2 or 3 turn blood knot with the end "blobbed" more than sufficient for the chod rig with fluoro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pineaplepopup Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 figure of 8 .but add the swivel on first then tie the figure of 8. with practice and nimbal fingers you can get the knot to touch the swivel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
