rossy1974 Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi all, ive made somerigs up with 25 stealth skin brown ill be attching it to a kwik link as ill be pulling it through a stick mix. As im new to making a fig 8 knot for a loop to attach to kwik link will this knot hold ok? Im confident in tying the knot and wet it as i tied the loop. Just want my mind at ease as i dont want to loose any fish due to my fig 8 knot, not being strong enough. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shakey Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 I've never had any problems with the figure of 8 knot when I have used it. Saying that I havent' fished it in a water where "hook & hold" tactics were required, but in the open water fishing I have used it, it was fine. This was with mantis, not stealth skin, but I doubt it would make a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceelyr Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Don't worry - as long as it's tied correctly then its brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
