Best Fishing Knots
The knot we use for each connection in our line is one of the few factors involved with catching a fish of a lifetime that we have 100% control over.
So it’s on us to make sure we’re using the absolute best knot based on the connection type of lines used.
All fishing knots are NOT created equal, so strength testing is needed to determine the winners vs. the losers.
Here’s the latest list of the knots that we’ve tested so far for the various line types and connection needs:

Conservation
Our fisheries are something that we have to do our part in protecting. And that, of course, involves proper handling of our fish that are going to be released.
Here are two very helpful posts that describe the best ways to protect and handle fish:

Texas tips, more Texas tips! Would love to see Texas fishing captains on a course too! Maybe even get to see Salt Strong have a booth at the Houston Fishing Show next year!
I would like to know more about how fish respond the big infux change of brackish water and clean sea water found in inlets that are fed by rivers. i fish Winyah Bay, seems i only catch fish in the clean sea water not in the low tide time of brackish water, do they follow the clean water back and forth? do they go deeper to a lower thermocline where the brackish water is above sea water, do they move shallow to cover. some kind of dissection to help out with this situation
I watched your whole video. When is your next trip to NC? Disabled vet here with no boat and would love to be able to be better at reading the surf and finding Red Drum hang outs in the surf.
This is a little off topic, but what App do you use to transfer you videos once you download to your computer to send by E-mail or shift to YouTube? There seem to be lot of Apps out there but not sure what is the best and easiest to use? All your videos look and sound great.
Hey brother! We don’t use any app to do that. All of the content is either embedded via YouTube or Vimeo (so it doesn’t require you to download anything)
Would like more product reviews on inshore baitcasting products. I realize spinning gear is by far the most popular way to go in Florida. Have medical issues that make it difficult to use spinning gear. It seems it is more popular in Texas and Louisiana. Thanks as always for the great information.
Great feedback, Sam. We’re here with CA now and he loves using baitcasters. Stay tuned
Thanks. Staying tuned as allways
where can I get a no banana hat?.
as for my biggest problem holding me back when fishing it would be current. I am used to fish places with no current and little tide fluctuation. I am now fishing in an area with fast moving current and big tide fluctuation. In the passed we fished with 1/8 and 1/4 oz jig heads. But where we fish now I can not feel the bottom making it hard to feel the strike.
Hey Shawn, we are completely sold out of No Bananas hats but should have some early next year. What area? Sebastian Inlet? Either way, get away from the fast-moving funnels (like passes) and find the slower moving water around the area. Hope that helps.
Hey Joe, I love your videos keep em coming. “Pa Pow”
Pa-POW Bob!
Hello Joe, a workshop idea I would like to see is a breakdown of the best days to Fish during the month as moon phase and tidal cooefficient are considered. Keep it simple with say trout and reds. Also keep it general, understanding some areas have very specific feeding peaks due to local features.
Yes, I saw the tidal breakdown that Luke did. Well done. But more time on moon phases please. Thx
Great feedback, Joe. We’ll do some more detailed reports on moon phases. Stay tuned and thanks again for the support.
I have found that when fishing a creek i will go on a quarter moon phase (in between full and new) that way you have a lower high tide and a higher low tide, the water is high enough to get in the creek but not high enough for the water to spill over the banks into the grass, the fish are confined to the creek channel and wont be going off in the grass where I cant get to them. Hopefully Joe can elaborate more on the subject
Hi Joe, I fish on the central west coast of Florida near Horseshoe Beach and Cedar Key, Joined your club last week and have been looking for some advise on Chumming , From how, when, and where to. couldn’t find any articles on this aspect, can you possibly do a video on this issue? thank you my friend. Proud to be a Salt Strong Club member.
Hey Ken! Welcome to the family. You are correct, we haven’t done too much on chumming (because we try to focus on helping you find areas that have lots of feeding fish within casting distance). But I know that’s not always the case. Here’s one of the videos we did on chumming: https://saltstrongdev.wpengine.com/fishing-tip/chumming-tips-how-to-make-the-best-fish-chum/
More to come

Sitting here at our lake in Ontario Canada I can’t wait to trade in my walleye and bass rod for some salt water fishing this winter. We purchased a home in Punta Gorda Isles last year so all these tips are certainly going to be helpful. Red tide is all over the news. I’d like to hear good advice from experienced fishermen vs the news media. How do you still get on the water to have fun and a good day of fishing. Great job and happy to be a member.
Hey Larry! Looking forward to having you back in Punta Gorda. Although I’m not a marine biologist, I’d be willing to bet most (if not all) of the red tide will be gone by winter. Thanks again for all of the support. Tight lines!
