Lumeymorris Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Can you use a Knotless knot on braid as I've been using it all the time and recently watched a video on Jim Shelley and he says Knotless knot are for mono just got me wondering if I was using the best knot without weakening the braid at the same time as another video said that some knots can weaken the braid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yonny Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I've used the KK with braid for 20 years and not had issues so I'd take it with a pinch of salt bud. hutch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpy86 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I agree - never had an issue with the knotless knot with braid. Just make sure the first turn around the shank of the hook, is away from the join snoozer, salokcinnodrog and nealjt 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyborx Posted June 20, 2016 Report Share Posted June 20, 2016 i'm pretty convinced now that his name and Carp should never be used in the same sentance ! how can you tell when Jim Shelley is in your area? the hardware stores are out of 6 inch nails, how do you know when Jim Shelley has been fishing your pool? the trees are dripping with bream. whats Jim Shelley's least fave film? silver bream machine salokcinnodrog 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
