Thread: St Croix Panfish 7' xfast

Well don't I feel foolish. I thought I was tying an improved Albright knot, but after watching some utube videos, I have been tying the alberto knot. Pop

Maybe not so foolish. I also just watched some utube videos tying the improved Albright knot. I think they are the same knot under different names. Pop

Very small and very strong.

The red Phillips knot is the best that I have found. I use nanofil on one of my bass rigs and the knot flies through the guides. I loose less fish with a leader, it gives a little more cushion.

use light mono unless you are after whales and then if you use the braid tie direct to the jig .....
thats my 2 cents and i have tested about everything you can possibly imagine for panfish

The smallest-diameter braid-to-leader knot is the FG knot. Nothing sticks out to catch a guide. Multiple how-to videos on youtube.

I finally got my hands on the 7' Xtra fast light panfish model today. I liked the handle and action but it was way more tip heavy than I thought it would be.
