The poor performance of knots other than the FG and PR are discussed in the actual thread, but you have to plough through it. Note that the % knot strength is the % of the actual breaking load capacity of the braid (not the stated breaking capacity which is found on the label). Most braids actually break at loads much greater than their stated load capacity.

What brand of braid is that 10 lbs braid?BRONZEBACK32 wrote:That is the problem I have been having with the FG knot and thinner braid and lighter leaders, it slips right through the knot.
10 braid to 6lb flourocarbon
Hoping the palomar would brake before the FG knot.

That is pretty soft braid so it should hold with 6 lbs Fluro leader. Tried 6 lbs mono as a leader?BRONZEBACK32 wrote:Maximaaquaholik wrote:What brand of braid is that 10 lbs braid?BRONZEBACK32 wrote:That is the problem I have been having with the FG knot and thinner braid and lighter leaders, it slips right through the knot.

Its the yellow, now I'm not sure why but the Yellow is stiff and really slick compared to the green maxima.aquaholik wrote:That is pretty soft braid so it should hold with 6 lbs Fluro leader.
