[cool][#0000ff]Thanks for the kindly comments. Glad you enjoy my "prose".[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Knot problems have always been an issue with fluoro line. You might wanna try my "Knew Knot" that I just reposted here on the tubing board.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Carp are the "Rodney Dangerfields" of the fish world...at least in the USA. They are highly prized game fish (and food fish) in many other parts of the world. I have always enjoyed doing battle with them, but I also snag them when I need bait and arrow them both for sport and to add to my bait supply. Here are a couple of pics.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]By the way, you might consider trying some Silver Thread Excalibur line. I have been using it for several years. It is very strong and abrasion resistant. I have landed flatheads over 30# on the 6# line and carp about that big on 8 and 10. Great knot strength too. It is available through Cabelas and at some retail outlets. Very reasonable price too.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]The reason I mention that is because carp are no pushovers. They can be line shy. The heavy braid will doubtless handle the fish, but only if they will bite in the first place.[/#0000ff]
