problems with fluorocarbon

[liam_mcaulay]

i have just baught some tfg 25lb well ard fluorocarbon to use as a hooklink material. its ok but im a bit worried about the quality of the loops i have tied bacause as the line is so thick the knot does not seem to tighten as well. has anyone got any suggestions or ideas.

[gaspanic]

are you lubricating the line with saliva when u tie ur knots m8?

steam is better than spit with fluorocarbon

 

but i still find the knots to sit slack...just leave a longer tag and then melt it with a lighter...it will never come undone,just tighten while playing a fish.

As above tightening over steam will help it bed in better and blobbing the tag end will leave a secure blob to prevent it pulling through.
