Deep sea fishing for tuna or sailfish needs a different knot to fly fishing for trout and salmon. Tying on a chatterbait uses a different knot to adding a leader for fishing minnows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But do you really know why you use the fishing knot that you do. Is it just because that is how your granddaddy taught you way back when?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out our Fishing Knot Strength Chart which compares a variety of different knots and their breaking strength. We look at over 20 different types of fishing knots and see how strong they are when tied on braided, monofilament and fluorocarbon fishing line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_64 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6613eae70bb5c\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6613eae70bb5c\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Fishing_Knot_Strength_Chart\" title=\"Fishing Knot Strength Chart\">Fishing Knot Strength Chart<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Knot_Strength_Testing_Methodology\" title=\"Knot Strength Testing Methodology\">Knot Strength Testing Methodology<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Hitch_Knots_vs_Loop_Knots\" title=\"Hitch Knots vs Loop Knots\">Hitch Knots vs Loop Knots<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Strongest_Fishing_Knot_for_Fluorocarbon_Line\" title=\"Strongest Fishing Knot for Fluorocarbon Line\">Strongest Fishing Knot for Fluorocarbon Line<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Top_5_Strongest_Fishing_Knots_for_Fluorocarbon_Line\" title=\"Top 5 Strongest Fishing Knots for Fluorocarbon Line\">Top 5 Strongest Fishing Knots for Fluorocarbon Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Strongest_Fishing_Knot_for_Monofilament_Line\" title=\"Strongest Fishing Knot for Monofilament Line\">Strongest Fishing Knot for Monofilament Line<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Top_5_Strongest_Fishing_Knots_for_Monofilament_Line\" title=\"Top 5 Strongest Fishing Knots for Monofilament Line\">Top 5 Strongest Fishing Knots for Monofilament Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Strongest_Fishing_Knot_for_Braided_Line\" title=\"Strongest Fishing Knot for Braided Line\">Strongest Fishing Knot for Braided Line<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#Top_5_Strongest_Fishing_Knots_for_Braided_Line\" title=\"Top 5 Strongest Fishing Knots for Braided Line\">Top 5 Strongest Fishing Knots for Braided Line<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fishing-knot-strength-chart\/#The_Last_Cast\" title=\"The Last Cast\">The Last Cast<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fishing_Knot_Strength_Chart\"><\/span>Fishing Knot Strength Chart<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The fishing knot strength chart provided here is a result of a series of scientific tests conducted by North American Fishing over a number of years.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each fishing knot&#8217;s strength was tested scientifically on a special machine provided by Berkeley, who are a <a href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/best-fishing-brands\/\">well known fishing brand <\/a>in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knots on three different types of fishing line were strength tested:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Monofilament Fishing Line<\/li><li>Braided Fishing Line<\/li><li>Fluorocarbon Fishing Line<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of each knot strength presented on the Fishing Knot Strength Chart are presented as percentages so that you can see the relative strength of each knot to one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The calculation used to come up with the percentage looks at the strength of the fishing line that was tested and compares it to the tension that the line breaks at during the scientific test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s use a practical example to show you how the calculation works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Take 10lb <a href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/green-fishing-line-vs-clear\/\">Braided Fishing Line<\/a>, which means the line should take 10lb of pressure before breaking<\/li><li>Tie a knot in the line (we&#8217;ll call this knot the Wild Hydro knot just for this example) <\/li><li>Use the testing machine to apply tension to the line and measure at what pressure knot breaks<\/li><li>In this example, say the knot breaks when 11 pounds of tension are applied<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can calculate the strength efficiency that appears in the Fishing Knot Strength Chart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>% Strength = Breaking Tension \/ Line Rating * 100<\/li><li>% Strength = 11lb\/10lb * 100 = 110%<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the above example, our Wild Hydro Fishing Knot has a strength of 110%. This means that the fishing line performs above expectations with the Wild Hydro Fishing Knot tied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hitch_Knots_vs_Loop_Knots\"><\/span>Hitch Knots vs Loop Knots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing that is very obvious from the strength testing is that Loop knots are nowhere near as strong as hitch knots. Now I know that sometimes you will want to tie on a loop knot to give your lure that extra degree of freedom of movement at the end of the line, but given the fishing knot strength test results shown here you need to be careful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You are much more likely to have your fishing knot break when you use a loop knot than when you use a hitch. Play it safe and tie a hitch knot (or learn how to!) for most situations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strongest_Fishing_Knot_for_Fluorocarbon_Line\"><\/span>Strongest Fishing Knot for Fluorocarbon Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The results of the strength tests show that the strongest fishing knot for <a href=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/fluorocarbon-leader-vs-line\/\">fluorocarbon line <\/a>is the Triple Loop Knot. This knot has a strength efficiency of 131.6%, which means that you can expect to get up to 31.6% more strength out of your fluorocarbon line above the rated poundage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second strongest fishing knot for fluorocarbon line is the Berkeley Braided Knot, with a strength efficiency of 131.3%. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Strongest-Fishing-Knots-Fluorocarbon-Line-1024x748.png\" alt=\"Strength chart showing the strongest fishing knots for fluorocarbon line\" class=\"wp-image-3530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Strongest-Fishing-Knots-Fluorocarbon-Line-300x219.png 300w, https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Strongest-Fishing-Knots-Fluorocarbon-Line-768x561.png 768w, https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Strongest-Fishing-Knots-Fluorocarbon-Line-1024x748.png 1024w, https:\/\/wildhydro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Strongest-Fishing-Knots-Fluorocarbon-Line.png 1057w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Strength Chart for Fishing Knots on Fluorocarbon Line<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can fish with confidence using fluorocarbon fishing line with either the Triple Loop Knot of the Berkeley Braided Knot holding your tackle on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_5_Strongest_Fishing_Knots_for_Fluorocarbon_Line\"><\/span>Top 5 Strongest Fishing Knots for Fluorocarbon Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best fishing knots for fluorocarbon line based on our fishing knot strength chart are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Triple Loop Knot<\/li><li>Berkeley Braided Knot<\/li><li>Porter Knot<\/li><li>King Sling Knot<\/li><li>Burke Knot<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strongest_Fishing_Knot_for_Monofilament_Line\"><\/span>Strongest Fishing Knot for Monofilament Line<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The findings of the strength testing found that the strongest fishing knot for monofilament line is the Fish &#8216;N&#8217; Fool Knot.
