Summary

The Knot Wars return with a test focusing on the Non Slip Mono Loop. 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.
