“Davy” or “Davy Wotton” Knot.

We are consitantly asked questions about knots:

  • Is there a special knot to join fluoro to mono  ?
  • Which is the “best”knot for joining tippet to a tapered leader ?
  • Which knot is the “best” for heavier diameter lines ?
  • Which knot should I use to join a Fly Line to backing ?
  • Which is the “best” knot to use to join Fluoro or mono to Braid ?
  • Is the use of  a knot glue important ?
  • How important is lubrication ?

This annual session will explore the advantages and disadvantages of most commonly used fishing knots.

Although most knots are at or close to 100%, some might be easier to tie, and some may even work better with thinner or thicker diameters !

In past years we have established CLEAR winners that are both practical AND functional.

We will explore such knots as:

  • The Arbor Knot;
  • Palomar Knot;
  • The Nail Knot;
  • The Albright Knot;
  • The Snell Knot;
  • The Improved Surgeons Knot;
  • The Back to Back Uni Knot;
  • The Cinch Knot;
  • The Pitzen Knot;
  • The Miller Knot.
  • and many more !

 

Join us with your favourite knot and literally “PUT IT TO THE TEST !! “
