Fish-N-Fool

Garry2r's FNF; I've been testing The Fish-N-Fool knot in the Real World for a number of years and it passes with flying colors

EC1 FNF; The stats are, it tested the best of all knots with Mono and braid and second best by a very small margine with Fluorocarbon, Still very impressive! I didnt know how good my knot really was till I saw it on TV.

Hi All, Fish-N-Fool here! The guy that developed the Fish-N-Fool Knot. Hope to answer a few questions for you and help you learn to tie the Fish-N-Fool knot. Garry2r's FNF; You are very correct any knot that has 2 passes thought the hook eye is stronger then 1. I have tested all kinds of knots and the same knot with an extra wrap aroung the hook eye is always stronger. 3 wraps are stronger then 2 in some cases also. Garry2r's FNF; The Double Uni knot is used to tie 2 lines of the same diamater together, not to tie a line to a hook. I real Uni knot is once through the hook eye and 4 times around the main line. The Fish-N-Fool knot is twice around the hook eye and 5 to 7 wraps on the main line. This adds about 150% to the knots strength. A Uni knot tied with 14LB. trilene mono broke at 14.3 LB. very respectable but with the same line the Fish-N-Fool Knot held untill the line broke at 20.53LB. Garry2r's FNF; No it's not just turn ur head lol Garry2r's FNF; I also tie this same knot but in a little differant way I call it the Double Straw Knot as I use a straw to tie it with, I dont know of the tool you are using as an aid to tie this but a straw works. It's not as EZ to tie as the Fish-N-Fool knot. But I think it might be stronger also. I'm a knot tying fool also lol I have about 4 totally differant knots I have developed that have tested very strong. This is one of them. Here is My Fish-N-Fool knot with a better Diagram that will help you tie it easier. Note how you hold the knot with your middle fingers. The loop is facing you when you it, so if you turn the diagram on it's side is how you look at the knot when tying it. Also if I'm tying a Worm type hook on I hold the hook with the little finger it keeps it held and out of the way very nicely. If you have any questions just shoot .
