[Trophy]

The Centauri or Fig8 is a knot that can tie both mono and steel.

This knot is perfect for any diameter mono, but perfect for larger diameter mono of 1mm upwards.

The knot can also be doubled up and butted against each other to make the perfect join for mono leaders.

The knot can also be used to tie steel strand to swivels, hooks and non return slides.

Hi Trophy

Any idea why I can't see images on the site?

I am working from a mac and a little blue block appears with a question mark in it?

Can you help?

A stronger variation of this knot is to loop the last loop through the eye of the hook this gives you a double line through hook and stops the line popping around the eye.

Do you think it will work as well as your "improved" version if you go through the hook eye twice before starting with the three loops?

I find sometimes on thicker line when you go through the eye twice it can cross over each other and thereby cut yourself off. With going through the eye on the final loop this does not happen at all. I in fact do the 3 loops and then go through on the 4th loop.

Shot - I will try that. This is the only knot that I use so want to make it as strong as possible.
