I see many anglers wetting their knots before tightening them, but it seems to me that I remember reading an article that demonstrated that this practice is not of value. Does anyone remember an article that tested knot strength with/without wetting the knot? Also does this practice work with fluoro as well as regular nylon tippet material?
While opinions and anecdotes would be of interest, what would be of most use is a reference to experimental data that looks critically at wet/dry knot strength.
Thanks
