Garry2Rs Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 This is an interesting new knot that is well thought out. The knot is designed so that it doesn't cut itself. You might like to give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSBruno Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 interesting, thanks. Going to run it through some strength tests soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just tried it. I like it a lot. Like the guy said, it's a very tidy knot and leaves only the smallest nub of line at the hook. Very stealthy and seems strong. Thx for the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks Garry. Seems to be none complicated and I,ll give it a try. TFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishindude Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Just tried it on a few hooks and I like it as well. Gonna give it a go this season to see how it holds up against the trusty palomar. Thanks Garry2Rs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassjnkie Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Tried it and it's a real easy, clean knot. Thumbs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskieman Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 This first picture is 6Lb Trilene XL tied to a jig using the Fisherman's Knot... my "go to" knot.. #2 is 30Lb Seaguar Fluoro...on the very same jig. The knot seems to be about the same size.. I've tied it 10 times or more now and am confident that this will be a useful knot in my arsenal..

Muskieman Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Randy, use the macro feature on your digital camera. Should have no problem picking up the knot! I don't have a MACRO... "Close Up" only.. seems to have worked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Caster Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Nice, you just gave away the secret Nipissing lure. As an all-purpose knot, I think I like this one more than the trilene knot. I'll have to field test it first before I switch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Live2fish85 Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks for that I have tried it and it's not much hard then a palmor knot, I will try this out for sure it may work alright for drop shoting so the hook sit up right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Well it works, however, I think I need some trifocals and a serious case of hand warming to make that one in cold weather. I'll stick to the palomar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PikeMolester Posted April 20, 2011 Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Nice thanks. Very simple and I will be replacing all my palomar knots with the fishgator knot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
