Palomar is a great knot, but this one is the one I've been using lately with flourocarbon. Just remember to moisten the line on flouro really good before you tie the knot.

The palomar knot is what i was trying and it keep braking when i tightened it up Does it matter if its light or heavy line or you do you use the same knot no matter what line size?

The most important thing is to start with good flouro. I just bought three 3000 yard spools of Seagar Inviz X. It wasn't cheap, but it's well worth the investment.

I only use Bass Pro Shops XPS and have never had a break at the knot using the polymier. Just like what was said moisten the line first and put a safety on it. Remember to retie every trip out and you shouldn't have a problem.

It's a great question! PLEASE note that not everyone is on this board daily. The angler who asked this very ligitamate question is new to our fishin.com community, so we should encourage him to ask any question. YOU can always just walk away from things that don't interest you as well!

Tie the Eugene knot and make sure it pops when you tighten the knot. If it does not pop then retie until it does pop. Absolute best knot for flourocarbon.

Polymor gets too hot! Uglyotter is 100% correct use the eugene knot and make it POP. It sounds crazy but the line will accually make a popping sound if done correctly. Easy to tie also.

Not sure what the Eugene knot is (it may be good), but it has been proven time and again (in many tests and tv shows I have seen) that the Palomar is the strongest knot...with several others coming in very close! These guys are correct in saying that you must wet the line first!
