For years knot strength has been the reason that most fishermen lose fish. It's naut the hook, naut the line, naut other terminal tackle, it's the knot. Trilene has spent considerable research money and time developing the Trilene knot. Under electron microscope this knot seems to deliver stress more evenly than any other fishing knot. And, the MOST important consideration is KNOT STRENGTH!!
| Improved clinch knot This is the most common knot used, but even though it seems much like the Trilene knot, it's weak in comparison. Down to 60% breaking strength in some cases. |
 |
| 2-Turn Clinch knot/Trilene knot The breaking strength is for the Trilene knot is close to 100% for most lines and diameters. It is always above 90% if tied correctly. Remember to "lubricate" this knot with a little saliva. |
 |
| Palomar knot A knot that's easy to tie and has a good breaking strength of over 90%. Its only problem is that it tends to effect the action of some lures. |
 |
| BowLine LOOP knot This knot is normally used to tie a jig directly onto your line. The "loop" allows the jig to move "freely", this knot is fast & easy to tie and has a high breaking strength. |
 |
| Surgeons knot This knot is normally used to tie two monofilaments together, as with a tippet to leader. The knot is fast and easy to tie and has a high breaking strength. The number of turns can be varied, but 3-4 turns work well on most lines. |
