Summary

How 2 Tuesday is presented by Danco Pliers Social media is full of miss leading information, the fishing knot influencers are no different. It is our job to test the claims made online. We must see if these social media knots are as strong as they are told. Life is too short to lose a fish because an influencer wanted to get views! Today I am testing this unnamed knot: https://www.instagram.com/p/C1JXd2sNrGi/ J-Knot Tested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QsfuWIUEiWU&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Ftomrowlandpodcast.com%2F&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title Danco sports is an industry leading manufacturer of pliers, knives and accessories for anglers worldwide.

0:11.0	While Colt produced the original, almost every major firearm company has produced its own version.
0:15.8	It's wildly revered for its reliability, crisp trigger, and is still a favorite for all types of shooters.

0:29.6	testing out knots that we found on Instagram. This is how to Tuesday brought to you by
0:33.4	Danco. We're going to tie this exact knot and test it because that's what's
0:37.8	missing on Instagram and YouTube. They look like nice knots but are they
0:42.2	really good knots we're going to find out right now. I'm going to tie this with 15 pound J Floro to 20 pound J braid. We're going to test it find out exactly what it tests at.
0:59.8	So I like this knot when I first found it because it is very similar to a knot that I call the J knot, which is half a uni knot and half a clench knot. So three-turn uni knot with the
1:06.9	braid and a six-turn clench knot with the blore carbon. Those jammed together and generally are a pretty strong knot. I will use that for heavier line, but in this instance I wanted to do it almost exactly like the one on Instagram and it was a very disappointing result.
1:28.6	I tied the three-turn uni-kuny knot with the braid and the six-turn clench not with the
1:35.4	floor carbon those jammed together and when I tested it it tested at 59%.
1:43.0	So while it looks like a nice knot,
1:45.6	it is a very weak knot and one that gets the thumbs down around here.
1:50.9	All right, that's How To Tuesday, brought to you by Danco.
1:53.8	Put the knot in the comments that you like to tie to tie braide to floor carbon.
1:59.1	Hey, if you want to see this not tied you can go to Tom Roland
