Re: Swivels

I use ablood knot for nylon, and a palomar knot for braid, I also add a drop of super glue, when I can get the cap off, which I think is worth it.

Re: Swivels

Reason i ask is i normaly use a 4 or 5 turn overhand knot but it snaps the main line if i get snagged.
Im useing 12lb mono mainline to a 8lb braid readymade rig.

Re: Swivels

then id go for a half turn blood knot this will give you a weak point if necessary although its still a very strong knot.
