A mate of mine swears by glueing all eyed hook knots when float fishing for carp and tench. 8lb Mainline straight through and a blob of superglue on the knot.
Does anybody else do this and does it make for a stronger knot?
And what knots might benefit from this?

| If the knot's tied correctly then it shouldn't give way, and the breaking strain of the line certainly isn't going to be increased by putting glue on it. I'd be concerned that the chemicals in the glue could attack and actually weaken nylon monofilament so I'd never consider it personally. |

| I never glue knots - no need really. Like FF said, if the knot is tied correcly it wont come undone the line will just snap and no amount of glue would stop that from happenening |

I used to glue braid knots on hooks to a bend to aid hooking but I use shrink tips now. Gluing mono can weaken the knot and if you use the right knot in the first place there is no need to glue |
unusual tackle, looks like wood!
if it aint broke it will be soon.....
and on the eighth day there was ebay, and it was sold

As mentioned above,i thought glueing the knot might make the mono brittle,
knot something i'm gonna try. |

| Done it in past but think it does weaken the line and with eyed hooks, certainly no need, with spade, just make sure the spade is big enough for the diameter of line and the knot is pulled carefully tight. |

| For added security I take advantage of being a smoker by gently applying the lighted tip of a fag to the end of the cut-off line. This creates a tiny globule on the end of the line preventing any chance of the knot pulling through. |
Why is it that when we're talking to God it's praying, yet when he talks to us we're barking?

| I can remember Matt Hayes saying to glue the knots on mono to prevent it strangling under pressure!! So, it MUST be right!! |

| No need to glue a knotless knot in my opinion, an utterly reliable knot, & I can't see a reason other than hair rigging to use an eyed hook. |

| Don't use glue simply keep the knot under constant tension for 5-0 secs after tying it. |

I have more confidence in eyed hooks when fishing for carp.
But which knots offer greater strength? a spade end hook tyed with a hook tyer or
or an eyed version with a palomar or seven turn tucked half blood knot?
Any opinions? |

Dslayer - I've only ever had that problem with 1 pattern of hook, temporarily anyway. Possible sharp edge on 1 side of the eye, 2 directions you can wind the line round the hook & so determine the route of the line through the eye. Sorted  |

Also, sometimes superglue will eat away at the nylon/line due to the solvents.
Knots, if tied properly, shouldnt slip etc..... |
Would love to say I'm a 'top class all-rounder'......but I would not be telling the whole truth!!
