Knot for topwater plugs

[findingem]

What is the easiest and better knot to tie for these baits. I understand that it is best to let them run free at the knot. What kind of knots are you guys using? Thanks

I have fished a Loop knot for years, takes the place of a split ring, try this...http://www.netknots.com/html/non_slip_loop_knot.html

Rapala knot...have used it for years with great success! If there is a split ring on the lure I get rid of it and tie my line directly to the eye. Check out www.animatedknots.com...or google Rapala knot.

Thanks for the ideals.

I use a palomar knot for just about everything. Very easy to tie and if you slobber the line up pretty good before you cinch it down it won't fail you.

I agree with metalfish. Thats the only knot I use for everything. Not saying its the best for all lures, but the one I have the most confidence in.

Loop knot for topwater, it gives the bait more action. Palomar for everything else for me

I use a small snap on the line. Gives the plugs good movement and it is real easy to switch out plugs.

Palomar nearly 100%. I watched a Hank Parker show years ago where they tested knots and it was the only one that would hold 100% of the line strength. No better reason that that to use it.
