    I agree the Palomar. Used it on Fireline, Power Pro and other brands with no problems.

    palomar works on just hooks, but for me it would just be rediculous on a crankbait or anything similar. trilene knot has never failed me on braid

    I must agree, from experience, that the palomar is the best knot out there...for ANY bait. Almost any pro angler you watch does the same thing. The only time you have to be careful with this knot is when using Flourocarbon. Be sure to wet the line first!

    I've used the Palomar on braided line and it works great . Just as with any line though don't forget to monitor your lines condition and don't get lazy and forget to retie. This is the main reson for a failure. Having a dependable and strong knot can result in slacking off in monitoring your lines condition. Avoid the if it aint broke don't fix it mentallity.

    Re: Best Knot For Braid

    I don't like a Palomar knot on medium to light line. I find that no matter how much its' wetted, it's still easy to abrade the line. I was watching that Bass Pros show one time and they had Stacey King on there demonstrating jigs, and the dude he was fishing with showed the knot he was using. They didn't give it a name, but it's basically a Trilene knot, with one extra loop. You tie a Trilene knot, and at the end, right after you pass the line through the loops right above the hook, you pass it back through the loop you just made, just like you do on the classic cinch knot. I tried it out, and I've been using it almost exclusively ever since.

    saw a knot test on break strength once dont remember where but the trilene knot and polamar knot both had 100% break strength. no other knot had 100%. so either one is fine to use but i like the trilene knot because its easier to tie on cranks and spinners.

    Why is this rediculous (SP?)???? Again, not saying that the Trilene knot is a bad one!
