But its shit for knot strength![]()
I've never had any issues.
I did a lot of (semi-scientific) testing many years ago and found it pretty good. Always above 85%. That was before I knew anything about the PR of FG knot. I think I like it because it is so versatile and easy to tie.
I use it in conjunction with a Bimini twist in the braid if I have time to tie one.
Experience. What you get just after you needed it.
Looks good, hopefully give it a try if the wind ever gives me a gap!

Yeah, unfortunately I have these two short people that live in my house that I need to watch/feed/pull out of the pond until their mother gets home, which is about 7 most nights, by then it's too late to get out.
And then it blows its tits off every weekend, well has done so far this summer....

You are preaching to the converted mate,its same same in my house.....thats why I get frustrated and do stupid shit like get up at 2 or 3 to go fishing and be in and at work by 7only plus is I can usually get the wife to pick up chilly bin from work and put fish in fridge and if not I will land it on a mate

@sambnz and his lady showed me how to slay gurnard on softies, we sat outside the islands at okiwi at 70 ft, Sambnz first drop hooked up within a min, then for the next half hour they boated a good handful, some excellent fish amoungst them. I managed a single then the snakes turned up and we could not get a rig to the bottom. We kept a snake for hook line bait and enjoyed the power of a few more on light gear, but the weather and loss of gear moved us on. NC and a blue spekled jerk shad doing the damage.
Nil durum volenti !!
Flicked all manner of soft baits,lures,jigs and slow jigs around for 4 hours solid this morning for zilch while my Dad caught snapper and sharks and my boy caught gurnard, yellow eyed mullet,barracuda.
I had one take in 4 hours I think was a gurnard but didn't hook up.

Same result, dirty water?? Had good success with cleaner water as posted previously , you had more paitence than me, I snuck a ledger rig on about an hour in and boated some cod. To be honest we struggled all weeeked productive spots were dead , vis was arse! But thanks to VC for some solid advise we snagged a good snapper and gurnard. So may not be the softies fault just hard fishing?

Agreed , I've gone full circle, bugger the brought bait, bugger the softies , bugger the lures , bugger the flasher rigs....fresh barracotta and ledger rigs and strips of cotta and running sinker.
