I went to the Smity website looking for the knot Smity uses along with Lee. Anyone know where it is or another way of tieing florocarbon?

Thank You

I 2nd that. I use 150# Seaguar and have no issues using that knot. I also crimp the tag end.

That is a great looking knot. I will have to try that one some time. I have been using a Trilene knot w/ three wraps. I never put sleeves on tag end because this weakens the line. I just add a drop of super glue to the knot when finished. Never had a knot fail but they do not look as good as Lee's knot.

I'm using either a clinch knot or improved clinch for tying to snaps or swivels....I've used uni-uni knots for tying directly to line but now I'm using the albright knot to tie to line....the albright is a lot easier to tie than the uni-uni
