How 2 Tuesday - Slim Beauty vs. Two Turn Blood Knot - Episode #647

The knot wars return this week and at the request of a listener I have decided to put the Slim Beauty and Two Turn Blood Knot head to head. As always I’ll be testing these knots on a Next-Tech Force-tester to maintain consistency.

Both of these knots are used to eliminate a Bimini Twist from the leader to save time and make the leader much less visible.

The Spider Hitch is easier to follow and today we will test it to see if it is as strong as the Bimini Twist. Properly managing your tackle and improving it is part of controlling the controllable, which is a key to becoming a great angler.

How 2 Tuesday - Slim Beauty VS Double Uni - Knot Strength - EPISODE #620
How 2 Tuesday - Slim Beauty VS Double Uni - Knot Strength - EPISODE #620

The best Captains control the controllable. One of the most controllable factors in fishing is knot strength. We can practice our knots off the water and test them on a Force Tester or Scale to get accurate data on which knot consistently tests higher than another. This not only allows you to tie the strongest knots possible but also to have confidence in your abilities and know exactly how hard you can pull. On today’s episode I will test two popular knots for attaching braid to fluorocarbon without a bimini twist. The Slim Beauty vs the Double Uni.

I think we should do a series of knot battles to determine the best and strongest knots. Text 1-305-930-7346 to give me your suggestions on which knots should battle each other to determine which is the strongest.
