Lets talk about Knots

Clammer,

Hopefully I won't be just bottom fishing!

Crazy Alberto for braid to mono uni for all other uses. I like numbys use of the palomar tag for a teaser, I will have to try that.

I pretty much only use the Palomer, Uni, Uni to Uni, and albright. Sometimes on the Dacron to wire albright will hit it with some glue.

Do any of you guys who may seal some knots with glue ever feel that this may brittle some of the standing line near the knot and thus fail at that spot premature?

It's strange to hear that someone else had that same thought. I stopped using the super glue as I felt it was effecting the strength of the line - whether it was mono or braid. It seemed as the line was breaking at the knot whenever I had a breakoff. It seemed as the braid broke at the knot. I know that the knot is the weakest point in the line, but whenever I had it part it seemed as though the braid was weakened as I always use mono of at least 10 lbs. test less.
