Could anyone recommend a coated braid for Ronnie booms? Will be fishing with a lead clip. I've tied a few up with n trap but the knots slip even when it's stripped back, thanks in advance

If the knots are slipping then you probably aren't tying them correctly. What knots are you using?

ESP Tungsten Loaded X-Stiff.

What knots are you using? None of them should really slip with a coated braid.

As mentioned, the ESP Tungsten loaded is awesome.

Atomic Jeli wire, perfect for what you want. And you get double the amount for nearly the same price.

I echo comment about knots slipping, think you might have something wrong there.

Been using a 5 turn bold knot. Normally use korda boom with crimps but wanted a more subtle hook length, thanks for the reply's will check them out, what knots would you recommend thanks

Meant to say blood knot*

Grinner or Palomar.

Worst knot you could use Tbh. Use a grinner or Palomar and you'll have no issues.

Korda Hybrid Stiff and crimp it with 0.6mm Krimps.
It's more supple than 25lb Boom, but plenty stiff enough for a Ronnie boom.
Makes excellent multi-combi rigs too, takes the faff out of joining fluoro to braid. I crimp the hook end loop and then strip the whole loop to within about 3mm of the crimp. Then slide your anti tangle sleeve on and crimp a small loop in the other end. So easy to get your rig lengths spot on! Sorry to have gone off topic, but it really is a versatile material. Just needs a bit of a steam to straighten once you've finished construction.

For braid I'd go with a grinner knot. I use a palomar for mono & fluoro.
I only use different knots for each because I read on salt strong that braid doesn't do so great with a palomar & flouro doesn't do great with a grinner

Braid is fine with Palomar knots
