kord iq extra soft 15lb

hi is korda a con or not as i bought some korda iq 15lb extra soft i am doing the knotless knot 7 turns and the figure of eight knot to the swivel but it seems to snap easy at the eye of the hook or just above the hook is raptor szie 6 is it ment to do this that easy cheers if ya can help me out. come on kev lol

I never use the stuff. I have been using 15lb Ultima Virage Fluorocarbon without any problems!

Kamasan B775 with the beaked point. (as recommended by Kev!)

I use it some times, try whipping the hook the other way as some times on the ESP it can strangle and cut off on the shank of the hook also when finishing the knotless knot whip it twice round on the return before going back out through the eye.

yes i agree stooty i had some ESP raptors and they were cutting the line at the eye of the hook and i was whipping away from the cut in the eye

its important when whipping on any hook you go away for the cut in the eye of the hook or you will find this will cut through the line every time perch king

yes i have even tried away from the cut in the hook but still the same but know i see korum have come up with the mighty hooks that should solve the issue so hope to have a go at them but what knot do you think is the best for the swivel end cheers guys

the grinners is probably the most wide spread knot to use and i have never had any trouble with it also the palomar knot and the figure of 8 knot are also good

regards
kevin

grinners for me

I have some 12lb IQ and i rate it, it's a good fluorocarbon that refracts light so basically it go's inviable or it's meant to it's also a stiffer nylon which was the idea i'm led to believe to help anti tangling, i use it still today and have never had it just snap on me.

maybe worth trying to do your turns as stotty & kev suggested and if your still having the same problem try it on a different brand of hook and if it still breaks take it back to the shop as you may have duff batch.
