I’ve been fishing for about nine years since I retired and I still get the occasional knot failure with the curly tail as evidence. Talking here about 8lb. Fluoro. Fulling Mill.
I was taught the five turn improved clinch knot. Usually OK sometimes fails. Highly experienced fishing friend recommended seven turns. Still sometimes fails. Now trying out seven turn NOT improved clinch knot.
What’s your ‘go to’ knot with fluoro?
PS Never have this problem with 15/20lb. Maxima when salmon fishing. Mind you I have never caught that many salmon! Lol.
