Meely Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 I have changed the line on my Musky rods to Power Pro. Trolled the Kawarthas last weekend and had something slam my bait....and..... snap my line. I am running 40 lb PP. Question: Is there any particular knot that works better for this line? I'm using a "palomer" (SP) knot right now.....wondering if this is the cause of my problem. Thanks for any help...... Meely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 The palomar is the best knot for Power Pro Meely, but your better off moving up to 80 - 100 # line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikoflexer Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Another thing to watch for that's too often forgotten on braided line is the little bit of fraying that happens near the leader. Changes the strength rating of the line a lot. So, re-tie often. Just my 2c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 You may have already tried this but, Power pro has a web site about tying knots with their product. http://powerpro.com/using/knots.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
douG Posted October 24, 2007 Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Meely, very important to spit all over your knot as you are drawing it tight. You'll be able to tell if the knot is drawing up properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
