Good video i like it. But there’s No need for a chain knot on a 100lb leader. The leader will hold. The purpose of the knot is to dissipate the excess of stretch on the knots in the case of a small leader like 30 to 40 pounds max while fighting a monster of 60lb . The number of kickbacks that the fish will give could untie your knots or destroy you leader-to-solid ring connection. I find it difficult to tie the chain knot on the boat but hopefully i will master it
@@MarkCotton amazing, I usually always have extra assist cord and hooks with me which prompted the thought as last trip out I had the solid ring cutting through the knot trying to tussle it out with a tough one. Thank you so much, I'll make use of that
I always hear people saying that the chain knot has heaps of stretch but isn't it just technically a whole heap of half hitches holding the the tag end over the mainline? The stretch is just the normal stretch in the mainline. I do like the protection side of the knot.
Yeah you could do dude but no need the uni is a strong knot the beauty of the chain is you can loop around the solid ring a few times to give it beta strength
Just tied two to try surf fishing. Remember fish hunters, ur not always gonna have a clamp at the ready. So practice without one. Do you have a video showing how to set it up on rod?
The clamp was the easy way to film the not I normally have an assist hook on end and hook to something on the boat. will have a video coming soon Ricardo
On a boat you tie your assist to the solid 8 ring first and then put hook over bait board or something to hold the tension vice very easy for videoing haha
Great minds think alike. You not only have the best PR knot video but I thought I was the only one who uses a vise to tie up my terminal knots.
Haha cheers brother
Also called a Tornado HH knot. Stronger than a palomar. Sunline tested it at 98.8%. Great demo !
Cheers for the heads up dude
Thanks Mark your videos just keep getting better some and just awesome to watch and some teach me new things for my fishing adventures

Hi Mark, just wondering could a piece of hollowed out assist cord be used as a substitute to the knot sleeve material?
Thanks heaps !
100% dude for sure

compare that to say a uni mate and you will see it has heaps of stretch
Awesome! Can you do a uni knot connection to the solid ring and chain knot after that?
Yeah you could do dude but no need the uni is a strong knot the beauty of the chain is you can loop around the solid ring a few times to give it beta strength
@@MarkCotton ah I see. Tanks mate will give this a go 👌

Would help if you could see it in full plus looks like you require a bench vice lol

Noice and toight
Sometimes dificult to do on a rocking boat and strong wind, I prefer Palomar
Chain is super easy mate even in rough seas
Palomar knot and TN knot are standard for the big fish. :)
