Summary

Last week, we put the Homer Rhode Loop knot to the test using 12 lb fluorocarbon. This time, we decided to take the challenge even further with a much heavier 30 lb braided wire. It's fascinating to witness the tested difference in performance when a knot is applied to two distinct types of line! Can you guess how well the Homer Rhode Knot held up in this rigorous trial? Share your thoughts! What knot should Tom tie and test next? Let us know your ideas!
