Are These the Best Fluorocarbon Knots?

The introduction of fluorocarbon fishing lines was a great advancement in bass fishing since it provides anglers with more abrasion resistance, less stretch and lower line visibility over monofilament and braided lines. 

Even with all these advantages, fluorocarbon lines weren't without issues especially when it came to finding knots with great knot strength and that did not allow the line to slip and untie.

Over the years, several knots were identified to address both these problems. Some were relatively easy to tie, some "knot" so much ;)

Take a few moments and listen to bass pro Shaw Grigsby demonstrate how to tie two of his favorite fluoro knots, the double pitzen and double improved clinch knots:

It appears G-man likes a version of the pitzen just with a few more twists as he describes below :)

Though I have used a version of the improved clinch for many, many years looks like I'll be giving the pitzen a shot :)
