Strongest Fluorocarbon knots in Bass Fishing



In this video Aaron Perelli will demonstrate the two strongest Fluorocarbon knots used in bass fishing today. They are called, the Eugene slip knot and the double Eugene Bend. The line will not cut into each other and they will stay intact for an excellent hook up ratio out on the water.

  1. Eugene slip knot is the best for fluorocarbon line period. I have tested every other knot against it. Even the double line uni knot breaks every time before the Eugene.Tie the Eugene knot on a lure and tie any other knot to a lure on the other end and pull to see which one breaks first. Thanks for the video.

  2. Thanks, your right this is the strongest knot, also called the double line Uni knot, line to hook, swivel etc. There is another double Uni for tying two lines together. Who is Eugene? Inventor?

  3. Saw Shaw Grigsby do a tutorial on the Double Eugene Bend knot but the picture quality was pretty poor so I found my way here. Thanks for the great tutorial, made it very easy to learn! 👍👍

  4. Thanx for the explanation of the "Double Eugene Bend" knot; you mentioned Shaw Grigsby uses it and yes he does, but it's called a "Double Pitzen" knot and that's what he calls it on his youtube vids ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxX3–DHQYE&t=6s ) . He also pinches the line before passing through the eye and I agree with you, I believe pinching immediately weakens the line and sets it up for failure. I've been tying the single and double Pitzen ever since I watched Alton Jones demonstrate a single Pitzen about 10-12 years ago (yes, he has a vid on it too and yes, he swings the spinnerbait he's tying around several times but that's because he's demonstrating a single. Your way just wrapping the double tag is most effective and easier to control if doing the double. Not trying to correct you on the name, just offering up that it also goes by Pitzen and Double Pitzen. Either name, Eugene Bend or Pitzen, it's a great knot! Thanx for sharing!

  5. Aaron, thanks for the video. I've never heard of this knot, but am going to definitely try it. I like to see this same demonstration with a darker background. I think it would be easier to see the line better… thanks.

  6. Excellent video! Do you use the Double Eugene Bend for dropshot (using the tag end that parallels the main line as your drop leader)? The Palomar sucks in most brands of fluoro that I’ve tried, and this knot ties more quickly and compactly than the double line uni knot that Aaron Martens recommends, which would make it preferable to me.

  7. Thank you for the tips in the video. I'm going to try the double eugue. I've been loosing a lot of lures with the impoved clinch knot. What brand and line test do you use for bass fishing?
