What knots to use on braided line?
67865
From what I've personally used, as well as what I've read it is recommended to use a polymer or a double polymer knot.

Wetting the lines when pulling the knot tight, lubricates the line and allows it to slide and pull up tighter and easier!!!If you are having problems with early weakness..look at your line guides!!! If you have used mono before the power pro. the mono will have cut small groves in the guides, which will easily tear up the braid, but not be very visable!!!! It is suggested to run a cotton swab around your guides and the cotton will catch in the minute groves cut by the mono....Changing guides is much cheaper than repeatdly changing the braid!!!

I use the same knots as I do with monofilament, I just double up on the wraps to account for the slipperiness of the braid (eg 12-14 wraps for an improved clinch knot). Never had an issue.

Not sure what a hollow braid is, but this rope has a cottony inside strip of padding. It worked OK for tying objects down to the rail of my boat, but I wouldn't trust it for weight bearing or mooring.

Use fishing line not floss. If it's a back emblem it's more complex and YouTube is the best way to go for the answer.

There are many ways to tie a knot. Different knots work with different pound test. Goggle "best knot to tie for x-lb test" and you'll get your best answer.

Hi,Below is the description that we upload to Amazon. They combine merchant data to create a "best possible" listing, but it doesn't always work the way it should. - -Weave rope around cleat arms, no knots needed. Great for fender lines, trailer covers and utility lines. Fits line up to 1/2".

I use it with 80 pound braided line and it worked great. It has a tention screw that pretty much let's u adjust to any line.

I use specific reels for specific types of fishing. This will determine what type of backing I use for my braid. For surf fishing or freshwater, I use several layers of mono line for backing. For inshore or offshore, I use one layer of tape for backing to prevent slipping and spool the rest of the reel with the braid because I might need the maximum length of braid line for deeper depths.

I use Power Pro Braided, It's smaller in Diameter and the 50lb test is great for Striper and Muskie. Don't forget a metal lead if your thinking about toothed fish though.

Bill,I've used it with 50-60 lb braid, and it was in the open ocean of the Marshall Islands, and some friends and I were hooking up on some 40-60 lb dogtooth tuna. We were dropping jigs down maybe 300 feet. I don't have a lot of knowledge on the strengths of the different weights of braided line, but I hope that can help you some.

I have not personally used braided line on my reel, but I see no reason why you could not use braided line...I only get to use my reel a couple times a year, but for the money and what I use it for; I love it!

both work but using a braided line will offer a significant advantage. You can spool more line in and the casting and retrieving will be much smoother. I use a 40 lb braided line on this reel which would equate to a 10 0r 12 mono. a braided line is more expensive but worth the money.

It is very thin cord, so a little knot isn't noticeable. I've also used a little super glue and rolled the end to a point, if I need to avoid a knot.

Any fish you would need to use a braided line for would be too much for that reel. Stick with mono.

When you cut the cord, seal it with heat. If you are wanting to create a loop without using a huge knot, you have two options. One... Using a heavy NYLON threaded needle, simply push the needle/thread back and forth through the two pieces of cord until sufficiently secure, then do a nice aesthetic wrap to cover the loose end of the loop. or two... make your loop, stretch it as tight as possible and tightly wrap a stiff wire around both pieces of cord ( for an example of this, see how they secure the ends of bungee straps with the hook ends used for securing cargo). Hope this helps!

Yes, but I have not chosen to use this piece of equipment that was supplied with this kit. I am using woolen fabric and like a curved large-eyed needle better for stitching/lacing the braids together. The illustrations and steps suggested in the booklet are very good and when followed, gives the participant confidence to do it successfully. I am glad I ordered this kit and have shared it with several people, even to demonstrating the use at a fiber retreat last October. Thanks. Lee Bates

You can use real chain or velvet ropes. I strongly recommend you use sand in lieu of water in the bases. You can purchase hooks at any hardware store or home center for the chain or velvet ropes.

I dont have any experience ice fishing but I do know that it seems more like string or rope thanactual braided line.
