Great podcast Zach and Dan, my favorite one yet. Two thumbs up!

“you don’t need fluorocarbon leader”

Other then price isn’t fluro much superior in several ways to mono for a leader. Why would you not use it?

[Zach Matthews]

He’s probably thinking in terms of price and also, due to fluoro’s hardness, I’ve heard knots on heavy tippets don’t tend to set as well – any thoughts?

Obviously using fluoro isn’t going to hurt anything, though.

What I have found is, tying a clinch knot and not a improved clinch works best.

[Carter Simcoe]

I like a loop knot on fluoro.

[Gary Sundin]

Gotta say I’ve been impressed with the podcasts and the big names we’ve seen recently.
