Should you trust the NAIL KNOT in your fly fishing setup? When it comes to landing tarpon on fly, having the right loop makes all the difference. If you don't have a welded loop in your fly line, what should you use? Many anglers trust the NAIL KNOT to make a loop in their fly line. Today, we are going to test the breaking strength to see if that is a good idea. Are you surprised by these results?

I am excited to bring back some of my favorite podcast that you might have missed. All they way back from From Episode 10 (!) this is my interview with the legend himself, Bill Dance. Bill Dance is the fishing legend. The first time I met Bill Dance he was unbelievably nice and helpful. Every time I see him he rushes over and gives me a giant bear hug and asks about everything, "Where's the Toot?" (Asking about my partner). He is a shining example of a high quality individual and it is no wonder why he has been so successful. I love this guy and aspire to help as many people as he has and be as excited about fishing and life as he is when I am his age. Thank you Bill Dance for blazing a trail that we can follow in the outdoor television world. I hope I can walk it as well as you you have.

Get your FREE Knot Guide here! —  https://bit.ly/3UnAeIP The Snell Knot is a popular fishing knot used to attach a fishing hook to a fishing line, particularly when using bait for bottom fishing or targeting species with a sharp downward pull. The Snell, while not the strongest knot I’ve tested, it has other attributes that make it desirable for some anglers. It's known for its effectiveness in keeping the hook in optimal position for hook sets. Here's how to tie the Snell Knot: Thread the Line: Pass the tag end of the fishing line through the eye of the fishing hook, from front to back, leaving a tag end hanging below the hook. Wrap the Line: Hold the tag end and the shank of the hook together, then wrap the tag end around the shank and the line above it 5 to 8 times, depending on the size of the hook and the diameter of the line. Pass Through the Eye: After wrapping, pass the tag end back through the eye of the hook from back to front, so that it exits on the same side as the hook point. Tighten: Be
