STRONG KNOTS FOR BRAID
I HAVE RECENTLY STARTED USING BRAID AND LOVE IT AS I BELIEVE IT HELPS YOU TO FEEL WHEN Y0U'VE REACHED THE BOTTOM AND THUS LOSE LESS GEAR ESPECIALLY OVER ROCKY GROUND , BUT I FIND THE KNOTS I USE ARE CLUMSY AT BEST SO I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR ANY SUGGESTIONS ON ANY REALLY FOOLPROOF KNOTS .
