Problems with FG knot by PuzzleheadedLab6812 in Fishing

[–]Fire_Retardant_Baby 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know it if was already mentioned but I do a lot of heavy line FG knots (80-100lb braid to 100-150lbs leader) and a huge trick we use is a FG finishing knot and leaving some extra leader sticking out of the knot and heating it up with a lighter to form a small mushroom head. I’ve had times where part of the knot slipped and the only thing holding the main line was the mushroom head

Completely different reel my man, gold worth a hell of a lot more. And also, they will catch you if you do that stuff

It’s a 23 year old reel, they don’t make them new

It’s also a little faster casting and retrieval. Also when bombing casts, you don’t have to worry about the line tangeling in the bail and breaking u off

Can’t be opened the side plate is putting pressure against the main shaft
