Fluorocarbon Fishing Knots
43 knots compatible with fluorocarbon.
Fluorocarbon is nearly invisible underwater but its stiffness makes knot tying trickier than with monofilament. Always moisten fluorocarbon knots before cinching — dry friction generates heat that weakens the line. The Improved Clinch Knot and Palomar Knot are the most reliable terminal connections for fluorocarbon.
