Always double check your knot. It doesn't matter if you have tied the same knot 10,000 times, double check it. It only takes one time of making a mistake to cost you the fish of a lifetime.

While on the water yesterday I was throwing a Siebert outdoors bloody shad swim jig and set the hook on a good fish. Just as the fish came to the surface, it came off. At first I thought it broke my line but upon further inspection I realized I had not tied my knot properly.

That is a mistake that I have only made a couple of times in my life but yesterday it cost me a decent fish and a sweet swim jig.

Sorry to hear man.  Good Advice.  Curious to know what knot did you use?

JT, Friday was a good day fishing on one of the local strip pits. I noticed my line was a little roughed up, so decided to re-tie. On the very next cast I had the same thing thing happen.   My partner laughed and said, "it's a good thing you re-tied!"
