Fishing Line...

[Tight_Lines]

Anyone who uses <u>Trilene Fishing Line, maybe specifically the low-vis. green, ever have any issues with knot strength??</u> just wondering. was out yesterday for a couple of hours and went to switch lures, but could never get a knot to hold. i must have tied about 15 knots and also used 4 different knots which all broke once i cinched them down to the ring on the crank bait. after the the first few times i thought maybe my line was bad, so i spooled off 20 feet, cut it and tested it for Tensile strength to which i could have pulled my finger off so i thought i was good from there. NOPE! i preceded to tie several more knots using multiple different ones, all of which broke after giving a "light" pull to test it!! i ended up leaving with frustration because i didnt want to lose a $7.00 crank bait. I think i am done with Trilene. SO i went and bought some P-Line and hopefully it will prove to be better. what other monofillament line is a good line?? Thanks in advance!</p>

Good Fishing to All

I have had pretty dang good luck out of the 10lb h20 express mono.

not sure which knots you used but i use the double improved clinch exclusively for all kinds of line! as for mono, i still use CLEAR Big Game, its made by Trilene but i havent had any problems with knot breaking UNLESS i dont lube(spit on) the knot well enough when cinching it down.

i stay away from colored or pigmented lines as the pigmenting usually make the line stiffer, causing more line memory.

I use it all the time the best and strongest mono i have found are your sure it wasn't a issue with the eyelet of the lure

Sure it wasn't your split ring? I use speed clips exclusively,,,never had any issues with trilene except for stretch

I have had good luck with it as well. I don't fish mono a whole lot but I don't have any more trouble with it then i do the flourocarbon breaking.

I've had good luck with Seaguar Senshi. It's a microfilament line.

Just bought some Senshi,,,how do you like it?

I am throwing Rapala's Lipless crankbaits which yes do have split rings on them. i guess i just figured that it wasnt the lure since i am paying $7.00 a pop for each. If the problem persists, i will try tying directly to the eyelet of the lure!! thanks for everyone's input!
Tight lines to all!!

try the palomar it works well and easy to tie. especially on cranks and traps.
