Summary

The knot wars return this week with a test to see how much a wind knot will decrease the strength of your line. 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. If you want to learn how to tie the knots mentioned in this video plus 40 other knots check out the Tom Rowland Knot Course on Waypoint. https://waypointtv.com/tom-rowland-fishing-knots-course This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% off Salt Strong Insiders Club: https://bit.ly/RowlandMembership LMNT Electrolytes Special Offer: http://DrinkLMNT.com/TomRowland If you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346 This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV.

0:45.1	not that you don't really want that is a win not when you're fly fishing and
0:49.9	you make a bad cast you get a tailing loop or somehow, I'm not exactly sure how it happens every time, but you get kind of an overhand not in your leader.
1:01.0	If your fly fishing guide sees that, he's going to want to bring it in

1:45.6	We tested it not too long ago with 12 pound line, we were getting about 13.5 pounds of breaking
1:52.3	strength. So on one of these we have it's just clean. Perfect. This is how you
