{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Not knot theory?!

Finally, mathematicians and engineers - and maybe anglers – will be able to agree on the strongest knots using science: news.mit.edu/2020/model-how-strong-knot-0102

 

It’s an intriguing investigation they’re making.

 

Here’s my favorite online comparison of the square, square w/ extra half knot, surgical, granny, and thief knots: https://www.animatedknots.com/square-knot - I only realized a few years ago I’ve been tying my shoes incorrectly since I was 6 years old, and it’s why I’ve always had to double knot my shoelaces (when no one else seemed to need to).
