My Mood:  Rep Power: 4   | Knots, Knots, Knots Knots, Knots, Knots.... Just how many knots do you have to know to consider yourself a vaguely competent angler?.... This is a question that I have been asked before and my answer is whatever knots you know how to tie properly. Tying a knot properly is the key to knot strength. If you can tie a knot right, with your eyes shut or in darkness, I guess you have got that one down to pat. I think I only know 4 knots by heart.... Three of the very basic ones and one I kinda modified over the years. But since knots are a fundamental part of our sport, I am posting a link that has probably the best animated basic knot illustrations I have yet to see. http://www.animatedknots.com/indexfi...matedknots.com If you have pics or links, please post them too. I will troll through my harddrive and dust off some of the stuff that I have saved from the net over the years and try and figure out how to post 'em. Regards, Saimee

My Mood: Rep Power: 4 | Jap Bottom Knots A whole bunch of Japanese bottom fishing knots to mix and match.... I have no idea on strength ratings, but they could help out anyone looking for ideas to experiment with new knots or to improve existing knots they are using. Saimee
