knots

[meoc4life]

i know they all do different jobs put which ones best any way

[solehunter]

As an all rounder, i guess it has to be the blood knot or grinner ;D
(about the only ones i know. heh!)

Same here Chalkie - blood knot or the tucked-half b/n. Use little else if I think about !

[darenw]

Tucked 1/2 blood, leader and loops is all I use.

[dean macey]

my brother uses a knot called the bimmeney twist for leaders which involves huge amount of tangles for me and a nice leader with a shock absorber for me brother can anyone else do it.

[topbanana]

have seen it done think you need to be a yoga expert lot of arm and leg twisting

[Pete B]

I very rarely use anything other than a blood knot (didnt know some of the others on the list) other then when I'm joining a leader.

[dean macey]

your right aboat the yoga m8 it is impossible for me.i think the knot was only designed to do in everyones head.

1/2 bloodknot for low diameter lines (snoods).
Grinner for rig bodies, as stiffer line makes it harder to tighten the knots.
Bog standard leader knot for the shockleader to main line.
3 granny knots for the rottom bottom

blood knot for every thing

except for the bimmeney twist

which i use for a two hook flounder or whitting rig from the beach

or a two hook running ledger on the boat .

once you get the hang of the bimmeney twist it gets easy to tie and save"s on beads,swivals and crimps

[solehunter]

I would like to try that one!

[slippery]
