Do you want to know something that might shock you about fishing knots? After testing hundreds of fishing knots over the past couple of years, I've learned one very important lesson. The "100% fishing knot" is a myth. Why? Physics. Yes, simple physics is the reason why. Pretty much all knots will create a weak point on the line given that it creates a point on the line where a max load is hitting it from more than just one direction. And although there are some instances where the main line (or leader) will break before the knot fails, there is no single knot that can always do that with all types of lines. So step #1 in using the strongest possible knots for your fishing needs is to understand that there is no such thing as a "100% knot". And if you hear someone say that their knot is 100% without any exclusions, then they likely have never tested it out in a controlled test with multiple lines, so I be wary of their recommendation.
