Knots for thin hooklinks?

[Oskar]

Hi all

 

What knot do you use for thin hooklinks?

I'm using hooklinks from 0.10mm up to 0.20mm and I'm using the Grinnerknot. The problem I'm having is that the hooklinks curls up when I tie them eventhough I'm taking great care when tying them up.

I attatch all my hooklengths with either a three turn water knot (line to Line) or using an overhand loop to attatch to swivels or to line that is a lot heavier than the hooklenght.

Try a Palomar, pretty much the best knot by far, the grinner does have a tendancy to flatten an inch or so as you tighten it making it go all kinky

Cheers for the replies guys. I'll start tying up some rigs and which one is the best

Half blood knot for me on hooks and swivels. First proper knot I learnt and its never failed me so I stick with it

Ive got a lot of faith in the Grinner.It does tend to "curl" any line at either extreme though.Best way to avoid this is not to start the knot by winding the four turns up the line before making the loop.Just make the loop then take the normal 4 turns through it.Lots of saliva to lubricate it and tighten the knot slowly,keeping the tag end tight as well.

 

I normally use spade end hooks and whipp them on with a double overhand loop at the other end when making up "hook to nylons" though.

loop to loop is a good'n, but try this one not a lot of people know this but it comes from quite a good source,

 

ok take your hook length and you reel line and run it parallel with each other, now loop the two around twice in the old fashioned granny knot, lubricate and pull, it is the equivalent to a full blood but you can tie it in the dark in about 5 seconds and the line lay is dead straight.

suck it and see.

i have yet to have one come undone.
