Last week, we put the Homer Rhode Loop knot to the test using 12 lb fluorocarbon. This time, we decided to take the challenge even further with a much heavier 30 lb braided wire. It's fascinating to witness the tested difference in performance when a knot is applied to two distinct types of line! Can you guess how well the Homer Rhode Knot held up in this rigorous trial? Share your thoughts! What knot should Tom tie and test next? Let us know your ideas!

The Homer Rhode loop knot is a type of fishing knot that creates a fixed loop at the end of a fishing line. This loop can be used to attach hooks, swivels, lures, or other terminal tackle.

The Homer Rhode loop knot was developed by Homer Rhode, a famous angler and fly fishing expert, in the early 1900s.

The resulting knot should be strong, secure, and easy to tie. This knot is especially popular among fly fishermen, but it can be useful in a wide range of fishing applications. In this episode, Tom test the knot with 12 lb fluorocarbon. How do you think the Homer Rhode Knot fared in the test?

In this Physical Friday segment, Tom shares a quick travel workout that can be done anywhere, even without a deck of cards. The workout involves marking off 10 yards and doing one exercise on each side, such as burpees and pushups. Starting with 10 reps of one exercise, you run to the other side, do 10 reps of the other exercise, and run back. Then you do 9 reps of the first exercise, and continue counting down until you've completed the workout.

This workout is an excellent way to get your heart rate up and work multiple muscle groups at once, without needing much equipment. Burpees are a great full-body exercise that combines cardio, strength, and endurance, while push-ups help build upper body strength. Alternating between these two exercises can keep the workout challenging and engaging. Pick the best exercises for you and share your progress!

In this episode I talk about how to workout when on the road with a little bit of equipment. This workout was borrowed from Dan John, who has a 10,000 kettlebell swing challenge! This is a modified version to get 500 swings in a shorter period of time.

To accomplish this, do the kettlebell swing (Russian or American version) + a pressing exercise. For example: 5 rounds of 10 swings, 1 pushup, 15 swings, 2 pushups, 25 swings, 3 pushups, 50 swings with a 30 second break.

Do you remember when your dad, mom, grandfather or grandmother first took you fishing as a little kid? When you first learned how to tie a hook onto your fishing line? The knot where you wrap the line around itself about 4 or 5 times? That's the Clinch knot. The question I want to answer today is, is it still worth using as an experienced angler? We'll see on this episode of How 2 Tuesday!
