Re: Forum for asking Fishing Questions
FG knot definitely takes some practice, but it's gotta be the strongest mainline to leader knot out there. I'm a bit impatient so usually I use double uni for braid-leader and uni for leader to hook or swivel etc. Double uni is easy to learn, not as strong as the FG but I usually target fish like trout, flatties and pinkies so I don't need the worlds strongest knot.

Re: Forum for asking Fishing Questions
Agree that the paternosters break under high pressure, I started using shogun 3 way swivels, the ones with the large eye at the bottom, this way I could tie locked blood knots.Elly27 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 11:00 amGuys, any suggestions for a strong, easy and quick knot to use for my fishing hook and swivel?
I do not want to use the patternoster rig as it breaks in the center quite quickly.
Still chasing Ling, had 10 trips down at Sandridge but no luck
Thank you for the help
The other thing I going to experiment with this season is creating the droppers with uni knots, ie 80lb main leader line, attach 60lb and use both ends of 60lb, one for the sinker and the other for the hook. I Still have to test in on the fence first...

Re: Forum for asking Fishing Questions
Yeah double uni knot works great when joining main line and your leader
Uni knot looks perfect, would be good to tie when in windy conditions

Yes mate and when you get used to it, you can get the knot done very fast!

Re: Forum for asking Fishing Questions
Practice makes perfect I would prefer I didn’t have to but I can’t tie 6lb-6lb in the boat in windy conditions.. might slip a curse word in the process but I get it doneLightningx wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 2:04 pmYes mate and when you get used to it, you can get the knot done very fast!

Just a question Red
I've have used three ways a few times and I seem to just tangle the rig on itself sometimes, that's using a two hook paternoster set-up. Do you have that problem or is it just my style of fishing?
Cheers, Bugs

I caught 15kg gummy on 30lb home made paganosta rigs with 2 hooks on a row with sinker at the bottom.Reddogfishing wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 1:17 pmAgree that the paternosters break under high pressure, I started using shogun 3 way swivels, the ones with the large eye at the bottom, this way I could tie locked blood knots.Elly27 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 11:00 amGuys, any suggestions for a strong, easy and quick knot to use for my fishing hook and swivel?

All depends on your loop knots and how you tie them
