    Default Help please with info for 2# mono or copoly knot that is strong!


    I am playing around with Ultra light fishing for bream, namely 2# line. What is the best knot for this light of line? When I break off, it is always at the knot. I wet my line and do all the right stuff but to know avail. I know the knot is the weakest point but they are breaking off to easy. At 72 years old, I can not see as well but need a good easy knot, I use Colored line, gold, green or brown. In Mono or Copolymer.
    Many thanks in Advance- Trypman1

    I use the Orvis (Becker) knot. I don't think I've ever had it break.

    If you can tie a Granny knot, you can tie a Palomar. Rated as the strongest mono knot there is and also great for braid (which lots of knots aren't).

    I've been using the Trilene knot for over 40 years. No problems, no worries.

    Same for me. It works very well with small diameter monofilament.

    Richard Gene the Fishing Machine on U-Tube has a Loop Knot that is easier than the standard Loop and you can almost tie it in the dark .. I have been working on some light Reels for 2,4, and 6 pound line and the Bass Pro Crappie Max reel has the best Drag and better features than many of the high dollar light Reels

    For a 'fast' know I usually use the palomar. For loops, I use any one of about three different ties. Don't use the Huckabee tho. I make a mess of it. I've never had an issue with loop knots over fast knots as far as strength of knot. I mostly throw 2 or 4 lb test Vicious,or 4 lb Mr Crappie.
