We put up with this hobby because for every bad day you know there will be one where the fish are breaking everywhere and your doing everything right. That's why it's called fishing not catching.

Duke, I had the same problems till I learned the Palimar knot. It's frustrating isn't it? But, I guees that's how we learn. Don't give up. Better days will come.

So far the seaweed has been unable to bust my knots.
Now, if I was catching Fish, maybe it would be different  |

learn from your mistakes... go back and kick some bass
to make you feel better, I lost a moose while fishing with clammer due to knot failure....  I learned from it. |

Kippy said it best, Duke there will allways be that perfect morning or night that will burn in your memory every time you think about fishing that will keep you going back time and again.

I've been using the albright knot for mono to braid connection..easier to tie. The palomar knot is great for braid to barrel swivel connection.

Make sure you wet the knot before you tie it. Some split, or charter buddy I know uses some soapy water (hvy mono over 80 lbs) in a bottle.
Palomar is easy and extremely strong. Berkley knot is easy to tie as well. Simple clinch is fine as long as you wet it.
Albreight to mono-braid is awesome.
At least you are getting fish on! You have stories to tell as well. |

I said that to my buddy who while bringing a 40+# fish into the boat slipped and let the fish go. I was upset for a while and he felt so bad so I told him the quote, to this day he still feels bad.
