Jig Man Extreme Angler Registered: 01/10/09 Posts: 1581 Loc: West,Tx.	Any of the above... I also like to put some head cement on the knot after tying. Just a little insurance!!! _________________________ >>>-----------> Make It Count!!! <><

Squeaky Pro Angler Registered: 10/14/11 Posts: 514 Loc: Lindale, Texas	I usually put two good half hitches by hand, then use the whip finisher...and a dab of head cement, or use a toothpick, and put some thin CA (super glue) on the knot. _________________________ It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and loses has it coming.
