POWERPRO FISHING TIPS:

• Always pass the line through the eye of your terminal tackle twice when tying PowerPro.
• Double the line before tying any of the recommended knots if your terminal tackle will allow. Larger knots give the line a bigger bending radius, and their strength will be enhanced.
• Don't use the common clinchknot - clinch knots will slip with the slick surface of PowerPro.

Reverse Albright or Worm Knot
For tying PowerPro to mono of larger diameter - easy knot

1) Make a loop (or double line) with the PowerPro.

2) Leaving about a ½" loop, wrap the monofilament around the PowerPro about 10 times.

3) Pass the monofilament tag end through the PowerPro loop.

4) Pull on the tag ends to tighten. Wrap the PowerPro around a gloved hand or dowel when tightening to prevent injury. The monofilament will spiral around the PowerPro in a "worm-like" motion. The knot is complete when the monofilament wraps jam net to one another.

5) Trim tags.

6) To lock the knot so that the PowerPro cannot slip out, make a loop with the PowerPro tag and wrap three times around the standing line. (You are making a half hitch with two extra wraps). For a smaller lock, back wrap the loops towards the Albright before tightening.

7) Trim the tag ends and the knot should look like figure 8.

Albright with a Lock
Use for splicing small diameter PowerPro to larger diameter monofilament.

1) Bend a loop in the monofilament, hold it with your left hand. Double 30" of PowerPro and pass the end of the doubled line through the loop as in figure 1. Allow at least 12 to 15 inches.

2) Hold the tag end around the forefinger of your left hand. You will now make 20 to 25 wraps around the monofilament, starting at your forefinger and working towards the front of the loop; make sure the wraps are neatly next to each other forming a cocoon.

3) After completing the wraps, insert the PowerPro tag back through the monofilament loop so that it exits on the same side of the loop it entered. Wet the PowerPro, and pull simultaneously on the standing line and tag end to jam the wraps together towards the closed end of the mono. Tip: Hold your forefinger against the PowerPro wraps to keep them in place while jamming the knot.

4) Pull slowly with the standing line portion of the doubled lines making sure you form a well ordered knot with each wrap neatly seated against the next. Guide the wraps with your forefinger as the knot tightens. Important: Pull the knot as tight as you can, then use soft jawed pliers or a gloved hand to seat the knot even tighter. The PowerPro around the monofilament should feel very hard.

5) Finally pull on the standing parts of both lines one last time to make sure the knot is seated securely.

6) To lock the knot so that the PowerPro cannot slip out, make a loop with the PowerPro tag and wrap three times around the standing line. (You are making a half hitch with two extra wraps). For a smaller lock, back wrap the loops towards the Albright before tightening.

7) Trim the tag ends and the knot should look like figure 8.

Uni to Uni Splice
The best way to connect PowerPro to monofilament of similar diameter.

1) Pass the PowerPro and monofilament at least 12 to 18" past each other so that loops can be formed. For a stronger knot, double the PowerPro.

2) Starting with the PowerPro, make 6 to 8 wraps through the loop and pull to tighten. Do the same with the mono except 4 or 5 wraps are enough. Pull on the tag end. Look to see that the wraps don't cross over each other.

3) Pull on the standing lines to jam the knots together. Trim.
