Fishing knots are intended to be pulled extremely tight before use. To ensure the knot tightens smoothly, and to avoid generating heat, the knot should be moistened with water first. The most conveniently available source of water is saliva - which is probably used more than anything else! When available, a better lubricant is vegetable oil.

Some words have already been written on the Safety page about knots weakening rope. Claimed breaking strength for some fishing knots is suspiciously high. Supposedly it varies with the number of turns used, and the number of turns is supposed to be adjusted to accord with the line diameter. It is worth remembering, testing shows that monofilament with a knot in its length breaks at about 50% of its ideal strength.

Ideal breaking strength is tested by winding each end around very large diameter drums. However, this is not the typical situation; in most cases fishing knots subject the line to sharp bends and kinks, which greatly reduces the breaking strain.

The only well-documented method of tying knots in monofilament and maintaining its strength involves threading the monofilament inside a dacron braid. The report claims that with this technique breaking strains of 90% of the ideal were achieved.

Knots are generally slip knots or jam knots, both of which feature a series of twists or wraps and a tag end generally passed through a loop or opening and pulled tight.

Note: This blog post on using saliva to cinch down fishing knots was originally posted on September 11th, 2020, but we wanted to share this important experiment again!! Be sure to scroll down to check out all of the HELPFUL comments below this article!

Those were very surprising results, I have always used saliva on my knots so I never would have even thought it could be worse then good.

 Thanks for running tests like these, they can be eye opening!

I like tests, numbers, results, explanations! This is why we join!

 I notice the break point for every knot is well under the line strength. A table of values for average break point of all your favorite knots tied on all the most popular inshore line weights would be an invaluable table of knowledge. It would also show what size line we SHOULD be using. Another test could show break points pulling on the reel drag.

I tie mono and flouro fly leaders. I always use chap stick to get my blood knots to cinch down into the perfect barrel shape. Very hard to do using 40 and 50 lb test without lubrication. I have also seen some videos where a dish of warm water is used liberally for every knot. That would be an interesting test; chap stick vs saliva or no lubrication. Anyway, you have posed a very interesting problem/situation. Some of the comments are germane; like quick cinching vs slow cinching and knots developing heat.
