    I’ve heard that flourocarbon line dosen’t have very good knot strength.I was wondering what you guys use for knots since I recently put 10 lb. flourocarbon line on my main rod.

    I use a palomar and haven’t had any problems as long as you wet the knot before you pull it tight.

    Which ever knot you ues with mono use on floro. I have never experienced any bad knot strength, going on 2 years now using it. -Mark

    You have to take more care when snugging down on the knot as flourocarbon line do have less knot strength.
