Tom Rowland Podcast

The Knot Wars continue with a battle between two important saltwater fishing knots, the spider hitch and the Bimini twist both used to double the line without losing strength. Many think that the Bimini Twist is a difficult knot (it’s not) and look for an easier way. The Spider Hitch is easier to follow and today we will test it to see if it is as strong as the Bimini Twist. Properly managing your tackle and improving it is part of controlling the controllable, which is a key to becoming a great angler.

The Pyramid format builds upon the 10-1 format we learned last week, but provides a slight bump in difficulty. This format also stays in the theme of Physical Friday that you don’t need to break the bank in order to achieve fitness. Even if it’s just stretch of open road or playground, a stairwell or a parking lot, there are ways to work out without having much or any equipment at all. Fitness does not have to be expensive or complicated. I keep ideas of simple travel workouts on my phone so I always have an idea or I can change up my current routine.

The Knot Wars rage on and this week we take two similar knots face off, the Albright and the Alberto. This is staying with the theme from last weeks battle about seeing if small improvements to your knots can have a noticeable performance impact. Properly managing your tackle and improving it is part of controlling the controllable, which is a key to becoming a great angler.

The 10-1 format, or countdown format is a beautifully simple format that can be surprisingly difficult. A recurring theme of Physical Friday is that you don’t need to break the bank in order to achieve fitness. Whether its a stretch of open road or playground, a stairwell or a parking lot, there are ways to work out without having much or any equipment at all. Fitness does not have to be expensive or complicated. I keep ideas of simple travel workouts on my phone so I always have an idea or I can change up my current routine. The 10-1 format with 2 exercises is a go-to favorite.This podcast is presented by Black Rifle Coffee Use code BLASTOFF25 for 25% offSalt Strong Insiders Club: https://bit.ly/RowlandMembershipIf you have questions or suggestions for the show you can text Tom at 1 305-930-7346This episode has been brought to you by Waypoint TV. Waypoint is the ultimate outdoor network featuring streaming of full-length fishing and hunting television shows, short films and instructional content, a social media network, Podcast Network.

Anthony Randazzo is the owner of Paradise Plus Lodge in Buras, Louisiana—the redfish capital of the world. He and his business have overcome numerous hardships over the past several years including one of the most devastating hurricanes in history, a massive ecological disaster and an unprecedented global pandemic. Anthony and I have spent a lot of time together traveling and fishing the Redfish Tournaments and have maintained contact and our friendship since those ended for us many years ago. Anthony is, in my estimation, one of the finest redfish guides and angler found on planet Earth. To see our previous episode with Anthony about all things cork fishing, check out the link below…https://tomrowlandpodcast.com/blog/590

This week on How 2 Tuesday we continue our Knot Wars and this time around a third faction joins the battle…with surprising results. I am testing The Clinch, The Improved Clinch and the Trilene on a next tech Force Tester. In this three knot battle, I want to see if the small improvements with each knot make a substantial difference. A key to being a great angler is what I have been saying throughout this entire series—control the controllable. The best way to do that is properly prepare your tackle, test it, tinker and refine it.

This week we discuss whether it is more important to DO certain things like work out regularly, track calories and macros or take vitamins or whether eliminating harmful things that you DON’T do are more important. There is a DO and a DON’T column on a piece of paper. Which are you paying attention to? Which is more important on your path to health and fitness—What you chose to DO or what you chose to eliminate?
