Do you have a favorite knot and how does it stand up to other knots? North American Fishing Club show on Saturday has a on-going knot war. They use the same 3 lines for testing and take an average from 12 tests. Line types are mono, braid and flurocarbon. Some drastic differences at times.

Knot comparison

Very, very, informative. Thanks !

That's a little humbling, I can tie 18 knots in a 3/4 poly rope, I've only heard of about 3 of those

Polamer is the knot I use 90% of the time - fast and strong.
I have no idea what those other ones are but I also use Rapala knot when wanting a loop rather than tight to the lure eye.

What I found most interesting is that flourocarbon has the lowest break lbs on almost all those knots - didn't know that.

This has more details for those that want to see the episodes including previous years.

Nice vids, pretty cool with some of the sent in knots.

I've used an Improved Trilene Knot for years. Great thread.
