Be sure to wet ALL knots before pulling them tight or you will get curly cues in your monofilament line...... yep. --riverman For anything finer than 4X I use a triple surgeons knot for the leader to tippet. I know the Improved Clinch is not the best knot around but I've just been tying so long my fingers move autmatically. Allen |

You'd be better off with a no-slip loop knot. Of course, in heavy leader material it doesn't really matter. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address. |

If you become reliant on a tool and then don't have it with you some time, it could ruin a trip. -- TL, Tim http://css.sbcma.com/timj |

Well, if you must know, here's why it's so silly. The clinch knot is the first knot most anyone who fishes learns to secure their fly/lure/hook to the tippet. If you haven't learned that knot yet, chances are you haven't been tying on a fly. Also, before your time here, wayno and rw were involved in a thrilling g discussion over wayno's choice of knot(s). It kinda became a running joke for a while with the knot-meisters on one side and wayno on the other. Although wayno only uses one knot and most of the rest of us use many more, it's only because wayno spends his time in other.....pursuits. ;-) .. . . and on another front, the double-smiley included in my original post indicates humor, not disdain. Don't start gettin' all sensitive on us now, okay? Roff doesn't need another whiner. :) -- TL, Tim http://css.sbcma.com/timj |
