I watched and studied "knot wars" for a while and have several knot links in my favorites folder.

My main comment isn't about the exact knots that I use but more about what is required of a knot. Some think of just knot break strength, but with today's materials is that really the number one concern?

I want a knot that I can tie easily, in the dark or with wet hands or with gloved hands. I put a premium on the time it takes to tie the knot. When the fish are tailing in front of me or rising, that is not the time to take 5 minutes to tie a single knot.

Think about what you really want out of your knots and that will help you decide on what is the right knot for you.
