I don't use this knot at all on fluorocarbon, I have had the same probs as you with it sliping, and it happens with all different sizes of fluoro & braid, must be something about the surface coatings on fluoro lines

It might work for some of you but I don't trust it

Trevor Williams:
I've never had the knot fail in actual use (I've only used it with softbaits and lighter line) but I've had quite few let go when testing in my shed. I've switched to the Roddy Hayes/ Tony Pena knot I was recently introduced to on a NZ jigging forum - 100% line strength and easy to tie. I use it now instead of the PR knot to join mainline to leader.

Sam Beeby:
any chance of putting up a link to that knot Trevor

I changed it a little in that I tie a bimini in the braid first and use the doubled braid for the knot. Also I leave the tag end on the mono a little longer and tie it close against the mainline using the tag end of the braid bimini and a Rizutto finishing knot (same way I do a Bimini- see geoff wilson's book of knots)

This is how my finished knot looks.


Brandon, I 'm not trying to hijack your thread-- it looked as if you had your answer already so I took a chance that you wouldn't mind the diversion.
