Re: [VFB] Improved Cinch Knot

[TomSwa59]

Hey Buck...assuming you were using bass tackle and not the flyrod??!!...   I had issues with Trilene in the past but the most reliable for me anyway was Stren.  I tried gold stren once and while i could still see the line, i wasn't getting the hits with it like the "blue"...The improved cinch is about all i used....it tied fast and held true!  I did find the Trilene unraveled from the tie point for whatever reason.  It also frayed a bit more during normal fishing than the Stren.   Hope this is somewhat of a help....   Tom in VT   P.S.  Don't know if i told the group or not but my wife Patty gave me a wonderful 20th Anniversary present....she wants to learn to flyfish!!!!  Her waders are here and we're just waiting for the weather to start cooperating...   PPS...Last nite i scored an Orvis 5 wgt Streamline for 20 bucks!!!   ><))))))*>
