Fixing Wind knots
« on: February 07, 2019, 09:52:09 AM »
I watched a video the other day where a guy rubs a wind knot with lip ice then pulls both ends and the knot just slides out. Looks impressive but I haven't had the occasion to try it myself yet.Going to try a few casts on the upcoming Mozam trip for the Racetech Jetski comp later this month.

That was Steenie, of "a learning experience" thread fame... Riekert.

Was an impressive display! Will definitely give it a try.

I saw it somewhere else, can't recall where, but it makes sense and will work with any kind of viscous lubricant. Just be sure that whatever you use won't damage your braid... Makes it easier to carry KY in your tackle box.

The late Seeker taught me that lip ice trick for wind knots. I have had great success using it especially with 0.1 - 0.2 diameter braid


The secret is to NOT try and pull it out by force as I have learned but to apply lip ice generously before pulling.
