The Knot Wars return but this time I want to focus on a single fortification to one of the most popular knots in fishing, the improved clinch. Does more turns mean a stronger knot? The answer might surprise you… It’s one thing to say one knot is better than the other but for the knot wars we test these knots head to head using the same line on a Next Tech ForceTester. The most important part of being a great angler is to control the controllable and their is no better example of that than properly preparing your tackle.

This week on How 2 Tuesday we continue our Knot Wars and this time around a third faction joins the battle…with surprising results. I am testing The Clinch, The Improved Clinch and the Trilene on a next tech Force Tester. In this three knot battle, I want to see if the small improvements with each knot make a substantial difference. A key to being a great angler is what I have been saying throughout this entire series—control the controllable. The best way to do that is properly prepare your tackle, test it, tinker and refine it.

The Knot War continues and this week we move to a different front…line to lure. In this first battle of the war, I’m going to be testing the Improved Clinch against the Palomar. We are using a NextTech ForceTester to test the strength of these knots. As I said throughout this knot war, the most important part of being a great fisherman is to control the controllable and their is no better example of that than properly preparing your tackle, testing it, tinkering with it and refining it.
