Tybo Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 The knot I use is not recommended for over 15lbs. I still use it for 20 to 30lbs, but was thinking of changing before my luck runs out. So the question is what type of knot do you recommend to use on 20lbs plus mono and floro. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raf Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) i use the uni for anything and everything with thick diameter mono/fluoro you won't need the 8 or 9 wraps as you do with braid. 5-7 will be fine.

BillM Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I like the Trilene for mono (stream fishing, I can do it quickly, lol) and the Uni for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdrifter Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) clinch. or trilene not I think. A uni is also a good knot. A clinch can be improved or not, depending on the application. Improving a clinch may make it a little bulkier though, but I'm told it's safer. And like Raf mentioned, 5 wraps outta do it. cheers HD Edited August 6, 2008 by Highdrifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douG Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Paul, what type of knot are you looking for? Are you tying to a ring, eye or swivel, or joining two lines together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wild Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 I use the bowline, knut, fisherman's knot, and a few more, most are good for lines 10,000 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
