Carolina rig knot???

[goober]

What knot do you use for your main line to your swivel? I used a clinch knot but it broke at the swivel about mid way through the day. Help please.

look up the knot Shaw Grigsby uses. It works awesome for all lines.

I always use a Palomar. Your weight isn't beating up your knot, is it?

[goober]

No weight beating the knot. I had weight, two beads, knot, swivel, leader then hook. It was bad, I cast and heard a pop, then line was weightless. I knew right away that it broke then I heard the weight hit some guys tin roof. FML They were outside to add to the frustration.

[Coonhound]

Ugh...that really sucks when the owners are around when you do something like that. Doh!

[goober]

yeah it does. They didn't say anything, not sure if they heard it or not. This is not the first time this kind of thing has happened to me either. I had a drop shot weight come off at a pond I was fishing at one day and it hit the roof of some guys truck. Just my luck I guess.

LOL Gotta love it!

Had the wind grab my crankbait one time and get snarled in a basketball hoop net hanging on a dock one time. And the owner was on the other side of the dock catching crappie.

Yeah, he wasn't happy.

I donno about breaking that off though. Seems like my C-rig nots get beat up pretty quick, even with beads. I retie it alot. Add to that how much i hate dragging a rig in the first place, you'll understand why i don't do it often.

"Help please".

Can also try a bobber stop/weight peg or 2 b/t your knot and bead, for cushion. The bead will wear on the knot, just like a weight if The hole in the bead is a little.
