Does any one have any kind of special trick for getting these knots off? Usually I just try to snag the tag end and pull it out so I can unwrap it. It can be somewhat difficult to get braid knots off of flipping hooks and am always looking for better ways to do things.

I usually, gently, take my clips and snip the knot on the hook shank, careful just to snip the line, not the shank itself. Usually it comes apart easily then.

You could always have a razor blade handy and just kinda shave it off.

I use a lighter some times

This topic does speak highly of the tenacity and strength of this knot, doesn't it!

 

A razor blade or sharp knife is the easiest removal tool.

Cheap pocket knife and slice it off.

If all fails

 

Well the lighter idea would be great and all but I generally tie a snell on a flipping hook. The plastic keeper doesn't really like fire very much. The pocket knife thing doesn't really cut heavy braid well. I think the way I am doing it might be the best for me and trying to use cutters nicks up the shank.

I new razor blade will shave it off like its not even there.

really sharp scissors snip it off with ease.
