Summary

The Knot Wars return this week with a closer look at the Blood Knot. Conventional wisdom says that the tag end of a blood knot should come out in opposite ways but if they come out the same way does it make a difference? The answer may 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.

1:49.3	blood knot where the tag-ins go out opposite ways and one that they go out the same way because a lot of people
1:56.4	accidentally tie it like this. Who knows? What we're going to do here on Not Wars is find out which is stronger so the common wisdom is that they must be
