knot strength?

[steve]

How strong is a nail knot (tied with a knot tieing tool)? It seems
significantly stronger than a fishermans knot. In fact, many times if I
try to break off the fly instead of breaking at the knot it breaks in
the middle of the leader!!

(ps, anyone familiar with sabre poles? I have a golden sabre 6/7 8 foot
pole that I want info on)

If pulled up right, it is stronger than the line

Sabre was bought out by Penn years ago. I believe that the golden line was the
lower of the lines. I have two Sabre rods that I haven't used in a long time
since I haven't been sal****er fishing in a while. Very nice rods.
