I am surprised that I am still reading about folk losing fish when the hook slips the knot. An ease way to prevent this is to super glue the knot. Carry a small bottle with you in your bag/boat/vest and remember to glue those new knots.

If the fish breaks the leader then just say ' One up to the fish '. If the fish pulls the hook then it is all your fault and you cannot blame the fish.

Or they could just learn how to tie a better knot. wink:

I don't remember fish ever pulling a hook unless I tied a bad knot. Super glue? Realy? That's a new one on me. But if it works for you, who am I to question?

id say just learn the right knot. Never had an issue once I learned how to tie the right knots for the right line/hook, etc..

There are a few good books out there with good pictures on knot tieing. I own one or two of them and they are great! They show you good fishing knots, good rope knots, all kinds of good knots to use.

I run 20' of flourocarbon line at the end of my PowerPro line. I use a drop of superglue on the knot because I can get away with a smaller knot and I can glue the tag end alongside of the mainline so the knot will feed through the rod guides and reel levelwind smoothly.

after i tie my knot i grab the hook with one hand and the line with the other and pull until its tight. if its a bad knot it will come undone and if its a good one it will be nice and tight! Tup:
