Can we see when the braid has a knot in itself, when it breaks? That will be your actual baseline. Still a very positive review on knots and failures. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@boettgg1275]

Thank you. Very interesting. Wonder what other knots would come in at.

[@christiaanviviers4106]

Very nice and very informative video... I would like you to show our fellow anglers how quick a bimini in braid breaks... some people swear by it but when formin a loop in braid, nothing beats a stitch loop. 100% breaking strain

[@saltaholic5235]

Hi Rudolph. If possible can you do more test on different knots, and also braid to mono.. i wonder if the 50lb braid maybe just cuts through the other 50lb?

[@666percentfishing]

Very insightful, Rudy. I think the amount of wraps will influence the outcome. Maybe round two with 48 wraps may yield different results. Cant wait for more mate !

[@xflipx6099]

howzit Rudolph can you do a compareson between FG and PR knot

[@juanvanvuuren9484]

Hi. Please show a FG knot with braid to a mono and or floro leader

[@firozemoosa316]

Hi. Good informative video. Can you also please do it with the pr knot

[@mellonpillay3797]

Hi Rudolph, can you mabey do a double uni knot on that machine?

[@mikewillemse3761]

can you please show the broken knot. we would like to see where and how it failed

[@ThysLouwrens]

Rudy, looking at where the "knot" broke, I would argue that the braid did not break on the actual knot but exactly below the knot where the braid takes more strain than on the knot itself or on the braid itself. But a very interesting finding.

Where can we get the whiplash 2000m spools from

[@shawnp3901]

Pls do the GT knot test, I find it much stronger

[@sheldantaylor7599]

Could you do a comparison test of the most commom used knots? Interested to see the double uni

[@SaltwaterFishingSouthAfrica]

Next weeks video we will be testing the Uni

[@garrethwolfaardt9740]

Can you please test the Alberto or improved Albright knot?

[@pakde8002]

FG is supposed to be a 100% knot but is usually tested as it's used in the field with braid to mono / fluoro. If you try it with a 50 lbs braid with 50 lbs mono I believe it break at or above the rated line strength.

[@jonnywaselectric]

What a great machine, are you able to do a test with the exact same braid with a uni to uni knot please?

[@SaltwaterFishingSouthAfrica]

Video will be out next week Monday

[@jonnywaselectric]

@@SaltwaterFishingSouthAfrica awesome thank you

[@chepachii]

@@SaltwaterFishingSouthAfrica yes would love to see some other knots, now you have access to the machine the sky is the limit.

[@MrDolfdeWolf]

Can you do the test with 50 pound braid FG knotted to 50 pound mono/fluorocarbon.

[@MrDolfdeWolf]

I myself use kingfisher mono as a leader FG knotted to 50 pound braid.

[@brandonmcqueen1856]

What braid did you FG the 50lb whiplash to?

[@jakedriskill7429]

Should of done different amount of twists
