Your are welcome. So here is my question about the spin fishing (which I do 50%, other 50% - fly and bobber or fly fishing with fly rod). What's the best knot to tie a lure to a line? I use a klinch knot (spelling?) but maybe there is something better?

I just use a clinch but what I have found is it's important to wet the knot when tightening or else it will burn the line, and don't pull on the tag end very much at all when it really tightens down. Your knot should look just a little like a cone. The wraps at the eye should be just a bit larger around than at the end of the knot, that indicates a good knot.

I like to use the Trilene knot. Fast, easy, and effective. I have also heard that it retains near 100% of line strength. Be sure to retie after a snag or after a few fish. Better safe than sorry.

The Trilene knot is best for strength, the improved clinch knot for speed. If I'm using 4-lb line I use the Trilene, but 6-lb gets an improved clinch knot. Sometimes.

Alright!
I am happy that there is now a spot for us spinners. I lived in Florida for many years (as I am sure you can tell from the name) and made my bones spin fishing salt water flats. I never got into the Flys so I felt a little lost when I first moved here. Don't get me wrong I want to learn fly fishing, but I havn't yet put up the time or the effort. That probably means I am too busy for my own good. I mostly use the improved clinch with the monofilament, but I feel as if I pull to tight and pinch the line, but i find the trilene knot useful for the often slippery braided line. That damn coating they throw on it drives me nuts. I know its necessary, but still bothersome.
