I just tied a nail knot to attach my butt section to my 6wt. fly line. If I pulled on both ends as hard as I can is it a safe bet it wont come loose?

If I remember my "Boy Scout" experiences a nail knot tightens on it's self as it gets pulled harder.
If done poperly it will not come undone.

loop to loop conection, so it u need to cut the but section u dont need to cut the fly line.

That's the idea And better to test now then let the fish do it for you. Just to check, so you have you're backing, then flyline, then did you tie in a couple of feet of heavy mono? or just the leader?

LOL way to underestimate me... all I wanted was to know if my knot was most likely strong enough... not a slap in the face! :thumbup: just kidding. Yeah thats how I did it, theres no way I'm gonna connect my leader directly to the fly line, it'll just ruin it that way when I switch leaders.

I was just double checking the force of my arms would most likely overpower a fish... which I was pretty sure of in the first place. Anyways... I got what I was looking for, thanks guys!

But seriously, I don't know if those arms could really overpower any fish ;D
