      I've been using this knot since 1977. But I do 5 loops just for insurance. I've never had this knot fail. I don't know how many Palomar knots I've had break or pull out on me. Likewise, I was using the triline knot for a while until I figured out the triline knot and the Centauri knot are pretty much the same thing, Just different steps to accomplish the same outcome.

    I have to be honest here: I watch a lot of knot vids. I think this is hands down the best Centauri knot video that I've come across so far
    Your steps are exactly what I follow with a few tweaks to make the cinching simple with 150# fluro. I use pliers on the tag end for the final cinching down, and use a Thirty Fathoms Knot Puller (tweaked by adding a snap & split ring to cover fresh water sizes). The knot has never failed me.
    While learning it, I had to make it a point where I pinch the knot. That was part of the learning curve. Before starting to cinch it really mattered that the tag end is on top of the loops & the main line is on the bottom so they run sorta parallel to each other...observing it helped me get them almost flawlessly completed...Uber strong knots!
    Excellent video! ...Uber strong knots!

    This is the knot we used when rock climbing. The main knot was a figure 8 then the tag of the figure 8 got tied into the knot you demonstrated.
    I'll give this a try. I just learned the tuna knot last night but it takes a lot of force to set well.
    I might use the figure 8 for jigs which need a lot of action.

    I use this knot for all my fishing. If you pull the line through a fly wich has an upward or downward bendt hookeye, make a loop and tie the knot, you can pull the knot to the fly and pull the loop over the fly. Pull tight. It is way better than thurle and double thurle.

    Using lighter line, it's much, much easier to wrap the line around your finger then pull the loops off to make that final pass through. Trying to form those loops with 10 lb line is a nightmare. The finger wraps work much better. Just sayin'

    • @JustTheLip

      @philnelson940 Рік тому +1

      I agree. Been using this knot for years in a range of line strengths, and wrapping around your finger works really well. Just don't wrap too tightly or you can't pull your finger out ! You can use 4 loops (rather than 3) and/or you can run the line through the hook eye twice for a bit of extra safety.

    • @JA-gx4hb
      @JA-gx4hb 2 місяці тому +1

      This is not a knot for maximum strength with light line. It's for tying a heavy leader. For example, you might want to use a 50 lb leader and only 10 lb main line for pike fishing. Even if you lose 1/2 of your line breaking strength with this knot, it's still way stronger than your main line. It's just an easy small profile knot to use with heavy line.

      You do realise that all knots slip yea... the point of designing a knot is to resist slipping as best as possible. Ultimately, slipping and strangulation is what causes a knot to fail. Friction under pressure causes heat. No slip, no heat.

    • @JustTheLip
      @JustTheLip  Рік тому +1

      If it works for you, that's great! There are situations where the square knot may not have the necessary strength, and some people prefer to use more fishing-oriented knots. I wouldn't say other knots are unnecessary, they're just used in different situations! Thank you for watching!

    • @pakde8002
      @pakde8002 11 місяців тому

      Coincidentally I watched a video on tying a figure of eight for heavy line and stranded wire. He tied it exactly like this knot except he only used two wraps (loops) and before cinching he twisted the loops to form the figure of eight. Therefore this could be considered an improved figure of eight knot.
      Also, not to be contrary but if you only use the figure eight it seems to me you're doing very specific fishing and basic fishing, which is fine but there are other types of tackle with specialty knots and if you're limited to a square knot you will absolutely limit your chances. This is a fact, not merely an opinion.
