Slim knot a real beauty

I’M very interested in braid-to-leader knots for catching barramundi.

I’M very interested in braid-to-leader knots for catching barramundi.

I have been using the kaneit knot for many years.

It was originally designed to catch a big-sized barramundi by Kane Dysart.

It is, in a nutshell, an unfailing method. That’s a good choice for when you have to make a knot to catch a big-sized barramundi as soon as possible.

I also created a high-convenience line connection of fishing line, the slim straight knot, with inspiration from the kaneit knot.

I mostly imitated the kaneit knot but simplified it.

Recently, I have started to use the slim beauty knot because I started using the Sufix 832 10lb braid line.

Fishing lines have made rapid progress.

I was recommended this one by Ronald Voukolos and Matt West at Fishing & Outdoor World.

I thought it was a good fishing line with high strength and flexibility, and free from entanglement for the spinning reels.

I chose the slim beauty knot to utilise the characteristics of this braid to the utmost extent.

These people prefer to use the slim beauty knot: Alex Julius, Alex Pastsalides, Callum Priddle, Carlo “Chonga” Esmaquel, Edmond Fong, Glenn Hubble, Liam Hatcher, Mario “Clancy” Faggion, Mark Paz, Mark Rolle, Mark West, Matt West, Megan Brown, Robert Mills, Ronald Voukolos, Roxsean Edwards, Stephen Rigney and Steve Osborne.
