PR Bobbin Knot
We couldn’t believe it when Captain Dylan Hubbard first told us that the PR Bobbin Knot has 100 percent knot strength… but so far it’s proven to be true.
The PR Bobbin Knot is the only fishing knot guaranteed to hold up 100 percent of the time (assuming you tie it correctly like Joe from Dogfish Tackle shows you below).
What does 100% knot strength mean?
It means that your fishing line — braid, fluorocarbon or monofilament — will break before the PR Bobbin Knot will (100% of the time).
Capt. Dylan says this is the ultimate knot for braid to leader connections and is unrivaled in its strength.
Its an offshore angler’s dream and will hold up against the biggest fish out there.
That being said, this is not the simplest knot to tie. It takes practice and a bobbin tool to properly tie it.
It’s also best to tie the PR Bobbin Knot the night before your fishing trip.
We created this article to be the ultimate tutorial for the PR Bobbin Knot.
To do this, we created a FREE PDF DOWNLOAD with the full guide on how to tie the PR Bobbin Knot.
We also teamed up with Capt. Dylan and Joe from Dogfish Tackle to create a video tutorial on exactly how to tie the PR Bobbin Knot.
What You’ll Need To Tie The PR Bobbin Knot
You need to make sure you have the following items to tie this knot.
What you’ll need:
- Bobbin – This is a small tool (pictured above) that loads the tag end of your mainline up onto the tool in order to make the wraps you need to tie the PR Bobbin Knot. The bobbin helps you keep line tension during the tying process.
- Mainline – You need a large amount of mainline tag end to spool onto your bobbin for the knot.
- Leader Line – You need a large spool of leader line to attach to the mainline for this knot.
The bobbin is necessary for this knot and can be found at most tackle shops – especially those that cater to offshore anglers.
Bobbin prices range from about $25-80.
Note: If you don’t like to use knots that require tools, then be sure to learn the FG knot if you want to maximize the strength of your braid to mono/fluoro connections.
