like anything else just do it over and over until you develop the hands skills. I have used one knot for a month without retying it is "that strong". but with braid? Ahhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaa now you have something that you can work with. So with mono the knot may look intimidating or unstealthy. I was able to straighten out hooks on bottomstuck lures and still pulled them out of the rocks. "and" you get a double line loop to tie a regular clinch knot to your swivel.Įver since I started using the bimini twist on my main braid line to that all important swivel knot before the leader I have had zero failures landed some nasty angry large mean fish and (here is another great benefit) and when I got my lure or bucktail stuck on the bottom I was able to put huge pressure on the lure and pull it out without line break. With mono the bimini twist makes a large glob knot that defeats the stealth presentation most of us target in our lure fishing (the bimini twist was invented for offshore fishing where huge marlin would smack a lure a 50MPH so an extra strong knot was needed with shock absorbing features) but with thin modern braid the bimini twist makes a usable small stealthy knot which is 100% strong and gives you the much needed shock absorbing ability that regular braid knots don't have. this is where the Bimini twist is a blessing from God! now braid is a powerful line for sure but it "shock resistance SUCKS" so a sharp quick snap to the line (a miscast, a hard strike, or lure stuck on the bottom and you trying to jar it free) all of these can snap the best braids out there. let me explain.īecause of the braid revolution most of us are now using ultra thin mainlines. its not only 100% strong it gives you a double line loop to work with in the end. its a wonderful knot for use in this situation. I tried every knot and was not satisfied until I discovered the Bimini twist. its a devastating memory that haunts you your entire life you dont want to feel that pain in your heart watching a 60 pound striper swimming off 2 yards from shore. the major stress point here is where you first tie your running main line to that swivel thats where the knot fails or snaps or breaks. so your main line is tied to a swivel which is then tied to your leader which is tied to the snap which is snapped onto the lure. In my close to 50 years of fishing I have only had 3 knot failures.Įvery time it was that darn connection where most of join our mainline to our leader. Read this closely fellow fisherman.a useful gem here for you all
