knots ?????

[bluesbiker]

this perhaps has been asked a million times today i set about making some rigs now the problem been is when im tying the 80 1b line to a swivel etc etc using a blood knot it looks very untidy or is it that im use to 5 1b line the uni knot looks better and dosent try to undo itself when wriggling the knot area around
whats your chosen knot when using thick line ie 801b
thanks in advance peter

I use the Uni knot for 99.99% of all my fishing needs

Great knot especially for snoods requiring delicate worm baits

3 turn blood knot with a tuck well wetted pulled tight does it for me and have pulled many a fish up south shields pier and never had a knot let me down.

attaching 80lb line to a swivel, depends what you are using the traces for, if it is for tope traces use a crimp.

Have a look at this link. Scroll down and there's clear pictures for tying knots in heavy nylon. Used it for nylon up to 200lb no bother at all.
