I am going to be using some fluorcarbon line on one of my rods. I haven't used the line before, so I am looking for suggestions as to which would be the best knot to use ?? Any info would be much appreciated, thanks !

Carol,

pretty much any knot will work. You should get some "Knot Glue", which is similar to super glue. That will prevent the knot from slipping or getting lose. That stuff also works with any other line.

Good luck.

Thanks for the info...to be honest, I've been using a "hangman's knot" since I can remember for all my fishing needs... I wasn't sure if it would hold with the fluorocarbon... I'll give the "glue" a shot.

I use the polimar knot for everything. It takes a little more line to tie it, but it never comes lose.

Thanks for the info Kai...I use the old hangman's knot normally, but have been trying the Palomar and it works very nicely ! Been watching "knot Wars" video on the NAFC website, very informative.
