Broken knot

[Foul Hook]

The last few trips I've broken off a couple of very nice fish. Both times recently the "perfection loop " at the top of the snelled hook has broken. What other knots are out there that have more strength and can be prefabbed and ready to go when needed. Typically I tie a dozen rigs prior to going fishing. Any thoughts?

What pound test ?
And are you really wetting the knot before you cinch it down ?

Loosen the drag a little after you move the fish out of the piece

Hey Dan, I'm using 50lb flouro on my snelled rigs with 65
Lb power pro and 50 lb topshot. I have the drag set for about 20 lbs or so If I remember. Broke them off while they were pulling drag, right at the perfection loop, 2x. A little frustrating to say the least. Maybe my knot wasn't tied properly IDK. I do get some spit on the knot while tieing them. Bad luck I guess. Not many other knot options out for a snelled rig I guess.

Is the perfection loop on the hook end or the main line connection?

I connect to the mainline topshot which is doubled up

I'm thinking smart fish running back in the sticky stuff. You could try a surgeon's loop. Easy to tie and pretty strong.
