What knots should I use when fishing with Rovex braid lines?
Yes, it is true that some knots traditionally used with monofilament (mono) lines do not hold as well when tied the same way using braid. However, if you use braid-friendly knots, they will be as strong as standard knots tied with mono lines. It is recommended you use a ‘double’ when tying all braid-to-mono-leader knots. (A ‘double’ is a loop formed at the end of your main line to create two strands of main line, the thickness of which creates additional knot-hold strength.) Always tie a ‘double’ in your braid main line with a 50-turn ‘bimini twist knot’. (All knot names used here are referenced from Geoff Wilson’s Fishing Knot books, which feature illustrated instructions on how to tie each knot.) Then, using the double, connect the braid to your mono leader with either an ‘albright knot’, a ‘slim beauty knot’, a ‘twisted leader knot’, or a ‘braid leader knot’. Each of these knots offer excellent holding strength when tied correctly. If you forget how to tie any of these knots when yo
