Hi!

I’m trying to set up a couple rigs for fishing with braided and twisted lines, I was going to use an Improved Clinch Knot like I do with most fishing lines, but I heard that for some reason It wasn’t recommended for the Braided and Twisted types. Why could that knot cause a problem, and could anyone give me the names of some knots that would work well and look good?

Thanks in advance!

Depending on which brand braided line you use, improved clinch and clinch knot could slip. With certain lines, even snell knot and uni knot could slip.

Palomar knot is easy to tie and it will work well with braided lines. Again, with certain lines, you want to use a double palomar knot just to be safe.

Braid knot was designed especially for braided lines.

Uni knot is safe with all braided lines ONLY if you are connecting braid lines to mono or copolymer lines.

All three knots described above are safe with all braided lines. Here’s a link of illustrated instruction for all knots described above: http://www.sportsmanschoice.com/terminal_tackle_knots.htm

PS: Fireline is among one of those "certain lines".
PPS: You could use most knots on Power Pro.

I’ve heard this before, but is it entirely true?

Don’t get caught using it, some places frown on people throwing chemicals into the water.

Also, just go to Http://www.animatedknots.com and figure out how to tie one that won’t come undone. The more bulk that is on your line/knot, the less likely you are to catch something as fish often become "aware" of the line/knot.

Good luck.

i know of the palomer, the blood knot, the standard and thats about it.

The one that I always use is the ‘Clinch knot’ – I’ve never had it come undone. It may look time consuming at first, but the wrap arounds are done easily enough by gripping one end, and rolling your fingers on your swivel.

Try these illustrations:

http://www.fishwithnoknots.com No Knots (formerly BugZ) connect your fishing hook onto a line without knots while maintaining full line strength. No Knots are for Salt and Fresh water fishing, are simple and easy to use, require no experience, are convenient, effective and will give 100% line strength – (as opposed to breaking strain), colors of No Knots seem to attract fish to your line with results indicating on many occasions that you will catch more fish and bigger fish.
