Guest Dez Animaux Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Please put this to bed Does a knotless somehow slightly compromise a chod/stiff hinged section whilst a Domhoff (Whipping Knot) is somehow better? Or does it make zero difference, or is a knotless in fact better. I am not one for flash rigs and am very traditionalist/minimalist but I like the idea of a stiff hinged rig as that particular rig is one I sort of ''get'' and would like to experiment with, I will certainly never use a swivel on my hook but MAY stretch to a small, neat rig ring and a bit of floss.

Gazlaaar Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 Knotless knot for bigger hooks, whipping knot for smaller hooks Donnygooner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dez Animaux Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 (edited) Thanks mate might just stick to what I know as the whipping knot is horrible to tie, especially with thick materials, I'm on Size.6 Fox SRs which are fairly large anyway.. Tiny bit of shrink tube is all you need to stop the all important (centimetre or two) of line which is exiting the hook eye from closing the gape up anyway!

salokcinnodrog Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 It was down to the size of the eye of the hook in relation to the hooklink material which was best. Terry Hearn was using a thick hooklink material which would not go through a size 5/6 ESP hook, so he started using the Whipping knot.

Guest Dez Animaux Posted October 19, 2018 Report Share Posted October 19, 2018 ESP (i.e Drennan) have terribly behind the times tiny eyes, as a rule So that doesn't surprise me in the least I would be interested in a close up, anyway, about what difference it makes in the very slightest, as I suspect none whatsoever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And use a decent glue like the guy said who was talking about 'Zap' glue, I use that as well it's brilliant.. I'm not a fan of shrink tube like somebody else mentioned, it creates a little edge to hinder the travel of the rig along the carp's lips, I cringe at the big pieces people put on their rigs, some of them closing the gape up so much they must love blanking! PS don't glue fluorocarbon it doesn't like it, weakens it apparently Superglue weakens mono and also prevents the knot moving at all, increasing the risk of breaking😉 Far better to be 100% on getting knots right and testing them.

Not true, and besides even if it were you're never going to weaken a stiff link chod type material enough to break it, the most popular BS of this stuff being around 25lb Done tests? Yes! Has it also been published in articles? Yes. Ever heard of a gentleman called Dave Chilton? Check some of his articles or a couple of the Kryston DVD's out. He has most definitely researched it and published his findings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had a whole conversation with yourself, disagreeing with and contradicting yourself. The quote box has your name because you typed it. You state you started using kryston in the early 90s and love it.

The quote feature of this site does not malfunction, everyone else seems to know how to use it, and I know at least 2 of us know how to do multiple quotes, with our replies in between. Protonmail? Deanobaggio@protonmail.com, or dezanimeaux@protonmail, strange that😉 greekskii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
