I got a look at this a couple of years ago at ICAST. Stronger than a knot, stronger than a crimp. Get all of the strength your line has to offer. That’s the concept behind the LYNX hand tool, 5 years in development. Make a true splice. Downsize your line when the bite gets tough. Heck, downsize so the bite doesn’t get tough in the first place. I see tremendous value in the LYNX, if it works on the water the way it is supposed to. Can’t wait to find out.

By the way,  LYNX is hosting an exclusive event to demonstrate the tool and its full capabilities in Amsterdam, Netherlands in March. We at AnglersChannel.com will probably be in Palatka, Fla. at that time but we’ll keep an ear out for any news or reviews.
