Hi guys,
While at home today tying and testing different knots (I know, what an interesting life I lead[:p]), I came upon this idea. Now, I tie a pretty decent improved clinch knot. In fact it's my go-to knot in the clutch. But testing it with 10lb P-Line CX, I found it moderately easy to break the knot...maybe because of the fluorocarbon coating, but that's another discussion for another thread. (And before you say anything, yes, I wet my knots and cinch them down slowly and carefully)
Sooooo...I doubled the line up, as if I was going to tie a palomar knot, but instead I tied a 3 wrap improved clinch. Actually cinched down nicely, even with the extra line. I couldn't break the knot before the line itself broke...felt like you would need a truck to break it! It was near impossible for me to even bite through it!
Has anyone ever heard of this or done it? If not, I would highly recommend it...bet it would be insanely strong with braid!! Gonna try it next time I go out fo' sho!
