Tip
Tip: Choose knots as close to full line strength as possible, because every knot breaks below the tippet's rated strength
How to do it: Select knots known for high retained strength, knowing no knot reaches full rated strength
Mistake it fixes: Using weak knots that waste tippet strength
Why it works: Knot strength is the limiting factor in a rig. A high-strength knot preserves more of the tippet's rated breaking strain.
When it matters most: Knots and rigging
