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.

Why go to that trouble.Just make sure the line is fresh and knots are done correctly.

Does not make the knot stronger – just keeps it from coming undone.

Actually the chemicals in superglue may degrade monofilament, thereby weakening it.
If you use an appropriate knot and properly adjust your reel’s drag you wont have any problems with the strength of any line.

ive hear ed carp/specimen anglers put a drop of rig glue on the knots when using braided line to stop them coming undone but if there tied properly they should be ok any way.

Don’t believe it, cuz it ain’t true.
There are other reasons for doing this. For instance, fly fishermen sometimes use super glue (or a variant of it) to create a smoother junction where the flyline and leader are knotted together.
Some materials are prone to unraveling, and fishermen use superglue to prevent that.
But there is no way the superglue will make the knot any stronger than it is. And, in fact, some forumulas can have a negative effect on modern lines, weakening them.

if the knot is tied right there is no need to use any glue to reinforce it.

Carp anglers occasionally use it to prevent knotless knots from uncoming. I use knotless knots all the time, but never had any problems without using glue either. I don’t like the idea of the smell of the glue on the hook. Most fish are really sensitive to unnatural smells. Happy Fishing!

Knots that I’ve used throughout the years are the Palomar and or Clinch (Improved) and have NEVER had a’ problem. Someone mentioned spittin’ on the knot ~ Ha’ best Super Glue round’ ~ do it myself… Also, devyn gave you a’ GREAT link/site for not only fishin’ knots but other ones as well. Added the fishin’ knots section of the link devyn gave you ta’ make it a’ bit easier
…< ‘ ( (( > <
Note: Have heard of others usin’ Super Glue but in my eyes after a’ certain amount of time the knot will become brittle because of the elements used in SG. This only be my personal assumption…

If you tie the proper knot it will hold to the strengh of the line and a bit beyond.

The super glue isnt for reinforcing, its to maintain the knot. Many of the super braids are slippery, and can come undone, and the glue stops this. Super glue is used because it dries faster.
