If you guys don't have the wire in your hands it's probably a waste of time to be thinking about knots. This is wierd stuff and there will be knot instruction on the package. Best to go that route first. Even the clinch knot they reccommend does NOT draw up like a typical fishing line knot

Even crankbaits twist and twirl when they are cast so consider that when deciding to eliminate the swivels.


Your not hearing me. The perfection loop is what they suggest. I posted the link earlier. I have used the clinch type knots with titanium wire before and was less than impressed. Granted I was using it with salt water fish who pull 10x harder but the knot was still clunky and suspect and was inconsistent and occasionally failed (operator error perhaps?). I quit using it and went back to single strand wire.

Why not try the loop knot and test it? It ties up very small and neatly and I can probably tie one faster than a clinch. If there is a better way why not be open? But is it better?......I don't know for sure but I try and stay open......it is, after all, their product and it is what they suggest (at least in their promo vid) so I will give it a try and report back.

As per your lure twisting and turning even on casts I couldn't agree more.....sooner or later it will catch up with you....that is the reason I go with ball bearing barrel swivels at the line tie end....... and just one is plenty on cranks IMO.
