Super Glue

[Jimmy Easterling]

I think I read somewhere to put super glue on your fluorocarbon knot to keep it from coming loose. Is that something I should do? I haven't had trouble with it in the past but I spend too much time making sure the knot is tight.

but I spend too much time making sure the knot is tight.

No, you don't. Others just don't spend enough time making sure the knot is tight (and right).



I used super glue for a while but soon discovered that if I took the time to tie the knot right the first time, there was really no need.

I haven't had trouble with it in the past

If it ain't broke.... If you haven't had issues in the past, why change the way you do things?



All the best,

Glenn

My problem with glue is that I would leave it open and it would be dry by the next that I would want to use it. Just make a good knot and you will be good.

Well, I am one vote for glue... If you have ever seen a (several thousand dollar) fish swim away at the boat and then seen the very evident tell-tale pig tail on the end of the line on a crawler harness you would adopt my "glue every knot" approach.

Use super glue myself. Walmart has a six pack sometimes for a buck.

Not a glue fan myself. I fish clear water mostly and super glue magnifies the knot and any part of the line it touches with its opaque color when dry.
