Fishing Trip One..bought some Trilene Flouro Carbon ..tied on spinnerbait using the Improved Clinch knot..I watched a 4 - 5 pounder in clear water inhale my bait..I set the hook..drag was set nicely..first run..she's off..} -; I'm thinking what the HECK!! I looked at the line..hook had came untied..

Second Trip..I was worming and dragging a shiner behind the boat..BAM! big fish inhaled shiner.Drag set nicely..and working fine..rod doubles over..HEAVY fish but drag is workingggggg Then..slaacckk! goes the line. I NEVER LITTER ! except for this one outing. I haven't had an anger outbreak in a while but I was very TICKED OFF. I reached into my bag and grabbed that spool of Floro Carbon and threw it in the pit. I was done with FLouro Carbon. Again..the hook had come untied.

Hook is coming untied or breaking off?

I use the improved cinch knot but it often takes 2-3 attempts before I get a knot I like. I put ALOT of pressure on it too after tying it because floro does tend to like to snap in some knot situations.
