Re: Proper crimping techniques
August 30, 2011, 12:27:37 PM
anyone tried using nailess nail knot for an alternative to crimping? ive found this is the only feasible knot for knotting heavy mono leaders. havent tried with flouro, but i tie 200-300lb mono with it without any dramas. pulls up very neat but wanted to hear your thoughts on the strength and reliability of this knot.

when connecting bite leaders to twisted you could use a uni/nail config, or nail/nail, or even uni/swivel/nail, can anyone see any problems with these methods?

Cheers

I use nail knot exclusively - never had a failure!
