benji5857 Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 I've had a look around and it seems that the palomar knot is a popular choice for fluorocarbon. If I use this knot to attach my hook how do you attach a ring for the bait or in my case a bore ring to the hook? Also what are peoples favourite loop knot for flouro as well?

blanksalot Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 Not sure it would work for a 'D' rig as you've already doubled up the line to tie the knot so having room for a third through the eye seems unlikely and it'll sit wrong with the knot below the shank. Have a look at the snell knot, does'nt use the eye like a knotless and it'll put the 'D' where you need it http://www.gofishing.co.uk/Angling-Times/Section/Videos/All-Coarse-Videos/Videos-Search-Results/Techniques/How-to-tie-the-Snell-hook-knot/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillfactor Posted August 3, 2012 Report Share Posted August 3, 2012 You could use two rubber hook stops with your bore ring between them held in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll leave you a hair/tag that will go down the eye for the D, tie one, you'll see how easy it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
