rainman67 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 What are the best knots to tie wire line with? Is there different knots for different applications? Such as, tying to the spool compareed to tying to terminal tackle? With many thanks to the members who answered my post on wire line, I've decided to try a couple poles of it. Thanks again, your replies mean alot !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Line Dancin Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Here is a link showing the wire line knot:http://www.lotsa.org/Wire%20Line%20Knot.htmFor spool attachment i use a piece of 20 lb test with a dozen or so wraps then an albright to the wire line.

fishsniffer Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 2 over hand knots for me..1 above the other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTRAMP Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 2 over hand knots for me..1 above the otherThis is my prefered way but I do go thru the eye of the swivel twice first. To the reel I run on about 75 yards of 30# big game and tie the wire to it with an albright knot, never have a slipping line on the reel spool and have a full spool on the reel. I run the Okuma CV30 and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rascal Trophy Fishing Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 If you're fascinated with knot types, try logging onto Mark Sosin's website. He wrote the book on fishing knots. Don't know if he covers wire, but should, and you'll be amazed at the amount of knots he addresses. Quite informative for any fisherman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
