Uniknot bud, Uniknot!!

Awesome day Keith, congrats. Glad your dad got his first reds!

I've never had a Stren Knot fail on the braid - flouro connection.

Don't worry about all those knots. Takes too long to tie, especially when you are in fish. Just use a good quality swivel and tie a 12 to 18 inch leader to it. much easier and i have never had a swivel break. i have had many knots break b/c of user construction and error.

"Heartache by the numbers....."

Last time I'll intentionally use these for reds! Two in one hour is two toooooooooooo many! 15#PP with 20# fluoro leader and 30# snaps....they straightened the snaps
and kept my Capt. Mike's spoons!

yea, i would never ever use snaps, just good quality swivels. you will never have one break unless something is done to it such as pliers bending one of the loops.
