Hoop got a reaction from JonC in Reel loading
As you will recall, those solent salmon and 3 bearded rockling dont half go some... stands to reason that the bench mark for any international tackle test, takes place in the mighty Solent. 😁
An FG tied properly won't give up before other weak points in the line.. 👍

FG knot for me though other less fiddly knots are available with various strengths.
Worth bearing in mind knot strength etc are only ever as good as the lines used. Tried tying FG - braid to some fluorocarbon that was too hard and wouldn't hitch the braid off properly, the higher priced fluorocarbon tends to be more accommodating. Fluorocarbon, I use Yuki Seaguar Neox (ebay from Cyprus - not cheap but the best I've used).. Braid, Sufix 131, expensive stuff though I got two seasons out of the last reel I spooled up and im out 3 or 4 times a week.. never had a knot fail, zero wind knots!
