** Fish-N-Fool rated #1 with braid
*** Triple loop rated #1 with Fluoro

That chart right there is GOLD! Exactly what I'm looking for! Thanks! I should have PMd ya a week or so ago!

Someone popped your info into a format that made it easier to share on other forums with out pushing the columns and numbers around:

I corrected my chart above the triple loop knot is actually the strongest with fluoro.

there was no need to correct it... it really doesn't apply to tying hooks from what I found in videos
