While fishing on monday I had a uni knot bust resulting in a lost stickbait and kingi.
Just wondering what knots people are using to attach the lure to the leader? Pico wrote: While fishing on monday I had a uni knot bust resulting in a lost stickbait and kingi. Just wondering what knots people are using to attach the lure to the leader? |

What lb and brand of mono where you using and how many times have you used this "particular" knot before breaking. You will mostly find a "big" fish always seem to break you off especially if you havent prepared your gear to the max for "every" fish but you always seem to catch all the average fish. I hate it when that happens |
I was using 130lb ygk leader, and had just landed a 15kg king... so maybe should have retied the knot after that?

Some of the best i have seen complete the chain knot for mono and straight to the lure or the grommet. Then i have seen them change to a uni knot on a different lure as they find the lure "works" better or they have found it is better suited to that particular lure (One chap i had stick baited with had said he had been out fishing with Konishi and he used a Chain knot for some lures). I am also sure there was a topic on here not to long ago in regards to Yeehaa tieing the AG Chain knot also. There is NO right or WRONG way when it comes fishing (within reason). I am sure someone would have something different to say, but i like to keep an open mind and try new ideas.
