The strongest knot you can tie is the one that no one can get undone

i so have to try this
borgcrichardson420
I think that’s a noose

How dare you people favourite but not upvote!

I'm very concerned about the amount of favorites this post is getting.

Can't tie knots, tie lots.
sharxbyte
this is an improvement on the one I've been using. thanks!
LivingWaters
I do love a good fave & forget! +1

I'm a polymer man but I'll give it a tty
PaulNewmansGhost
My exact thought
RickiestRickC137
U use too much leader tho
Yoosunofabich
Palomar baby!!
AawesomeAardvaark
You can make a loop with a palomar?
nottherapist
Title should say "*in fishing". Double figure 8 all day every day if you want the best.
pizzapartyhard
Why do you cut off the loop after tying it?
harambedaycare
Um, is that a noose?
TheGhostMinx
Need to use this at work this week for what I'm repairing. This is going to work great. Thanks @OP!
usernamethatsstillavailable
read "preparing" instead of "repairing", sounded really ominous XD
TheGhostMinx
I mean, it works either way. >:D

Title is suspect. If it were the case, why would we use figure 8 knots for climbing?
DangerRNGR
Because you haven't learned the Yosemite bowline... And this is for single strand fishing line
TheOnly24
By the look of it it would be horrible to untie after loading- and it wouldn't be very efficient to re-tieloads of times. Oh and this knot-
TheOnly24
Is shit if you tie it in climbing rope
theBEARDEDarchaeologist
Good things it's obviously a knot for fishing line then
TheOnly24
...duh, I was explaining why it's not used for climbing.
bucknastynasty
I think cutting the loop at the end defeats the whole purpose.
Airway9000
The palomar knot is far superior. More line through the hook eye.
alitquar
You got an image?
mydogisblack
Good looks. I needed to save this again cuz it's fishing season and I can never remember this for some reason.
simplyTenacious
use a no-knot system. simple, quick and hella strong
nellietta
I just make a bundle of random knots. Has never failed
papachabre
Same here. It helps that I never get anything on the line though.
Mugsybugs
Same, somehow bowline is the only knot i never forget
Acex1337
All about that San Diego jam knot
Gnorman95
Polimar or improved clinch is the way to go.
Yetanothernick
Also known as the Rapala knot
anders1809
Just use the palomar knot it's super easy and strong
iwentdoodie
Palomar is awesome in fresh water and smaller fish in general. It's one of the weaker knots overall. Uni is much stronger and still easy
anders1809
Whilr true that uni is stronger the palomar knot is 75-85% of line test
TheNLK
all of those numbers are nonsense because it depends on how well it was tied. Line friction while tightening is the problem. Moisten palomar
anders1809
Well when comparing knot strength one would assume both are tied to perfection not one tied by a master angler and the other by No hands bob
DrownedKittensInABurlapSack
What’s the water drop for?
Scrampy123
Lick it
jmw91917
You wet it so there is less friction when you tighten it
Simon1FA
I heard nylon fishing line can weaken if it gets hot from friction when tying a knot.
PokemonNumber351
I have a fiber fishing line, and I once did the knot without water. Knot snapped after 2 casts, at least I learned my lesson.
FeloniousMonk13
That's the stage where any nearby women get wet due to your knot tying skills
anders1809
Flourcarbon lines are weakened quite easily by friction and heat so lube up
pennyeater
if youre fishing with flour carbon its gonna be hard to reel
ChrisMendez123
Thanks dad
WaterUnderTheRocketAppliances
That's jizz
Gnorman95
If fishing line isn't wet when tying you could cause friction burns and it weakens the strength of the knot.
WeeklyAdhesiveness
You wet it so the knot pulls tight easily
falseidoladvertisementagency
Getting the line wet in fishing at least will make the knot tighten up with ease
MaineMariners
It also lubricates it. Less stress and friction helps keep the line strong.
PMmeYourFeetLadies
I'll stick to Palomar knot
djg80brisvega
I got no problem with me loop knots, it's me braid to flouro knots I need help with. I think I tie the slim beauty properly, any 1 tie f.g?
hhager23
Love the FG but will use a 6 turn surgeon if in a rush.
jrharvii
I can tie a slim beauty pretty well now too. But haven't attempted an FG... youtube is the go
CarpathionWargasm
Use an Albright knot. There's a few good apps with different knots
OneOrangeJuiceErection
FG knot works well for me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQmUN0L4F6c
OneOrangeJuiceErection
I would recomend copolymer or fluorocoated mono line instead of fluoro for leader too, easy to tie knots with
djg80brisvega
Thank you that looks relatively straight forward
TheNLK
Alberto knot is a version of the albright that works with braid.

Can't tell if Irish or pirate

Braid to fluoro I like a back to back uni knot if fluoro is 20lbs or less. If heavier use an Albright knot.
djg80brisvega
I used to tie back 2 back uni, but I reckon that ball of knot going through the guides again and again eventually fails.
djg80brisvega
I've been tying slim beauty but I hear fg is better for heavier tackle. Going barra fishing later this year....
JeremyBearimy
Does this work as a noose for humans?
AlkaLKittenDiver
Yes, but only once
4Gatti
It's not a slip knot so no...
