braid & knots

[lee815]

Hi all, ive done a search but couldnt find anything. After reading a number of posts on braid ive gone & bought some Kryston Mantis dark. one thing i would like to know although it might sound stupid to some people & please remember im new to fishing. Is it always best to remove the coating when tying a knot on the swivel or forming a loop.

 

Thanks

Lee, do what you want.

 

I personally feel that I get a better tighter knot by stripping the coating back but that said, you can buy hooklinks already made that have the coating intact throughout.

 

One thing I do though, if leaving the coating on, pull it tight over a steaming kettle so it softens the coating & beds itself in.
