knot strength?
Svend Tang-Petersen wrote:
I think the nail knot is only an 80% strength knot. I use loop-loop both to backing and leader. If the nail knot is 80% strength, and it's tied in heavy mono with maybe 50lb tensile strength or greater, and if your tippet is 1x or smaller, WHAT IS THE POINT??? The purpose of a flyline/leader knot (or Leader Link) is to pass through the guides smoothly, not to be as strong as possible. -- Cut "to the chase" for my email address.
