Worm fishing with 50# power pro. My problem is my line is slipping through the eye of the hook. Anyone have this problem? What do you do to prevent it from happening?

You can try a couple of things or all. First, I've heard a double palomar is the way to go with braid. I'm sure everyone has their own way of doing things, but I've never had this knot fail. If you dont like that knot, try the berkley (trilene) knot with an additional loop at the end.
You can also put some superglue, kraze glue or pro's soft bait glue on the knot. That will definately help.
Finally, I just want to make sure, you are talking about the knot slipping and not the line coming off the edge of the eye, right? If you are talking about the knot slippong off the edge of the eye, then get yourself a different brand of hook.
There's a hook that's made with a "closed eye" (if that makes sense) where there's no "gap" at the eye, but I dont remember who the manufacturer is. I want to say it's Hookerz, but not positive.
Hope this helps

My knot is holding. The is not breaking. The line is slipping out of the eye, on hook set. Maybe I need to switch hooks. I am using Bass Pro worm hooks.
The line is not breaking.
You just answered your own question, get yourself over to HookerZ and get some decent hooks. BPS hooks are about as bad as you can get, just my opinion.
yea i agree with David the BOS hooks are junk i think the Hookerz hooks are the best i have found
Do you guys buy from the online store or do you a a local dealer you buy from?

right there best hooks made
Ok guys thanks for the help
I want to give those hookerz a try
A drop of super glue will solve the problem!
I tried that and it works. My problem with that is it gets all over the place, iglue my fingers together, and after i use it once it seals up and the bottle is no good. You got any tricks to solve this problem?

LOL.......ummmmm.......don't have the problem gonna have to think of an easy system
Get the gel or the brush, either works better than the regular. My knot choice for my limited use of braid is the Berkley Braid knot.
