    RE: Knots

    Hands down the Polamar, imo best all around and won't come undue.... But I have heard of a type in an oak tree can come in handy, a little hard, but you know I bet a knot in a Gum tree might be a little more softer, if the situation arose and it came right down to it...HA HA HA lol

    RE: Knots

    When using Mono line i tie the Palomar on all baits except topwater then i use another knot which i believe is called a Loopknot? Not really sure but i tie it and have never had it fail. I also use the Palomar on my braided lines and have never had that fail.

    RE: Knots

    Yep, Polamar for fly to line. I know this "flies"
    in the face of the duncan loop as I am a nymph fly fisherman, But I catch fish. Plus its quick. You can't catch fish with the fly in your hand. Surgeons knot is a close second(tippet to leader). All knots have there advantages and disadvantages.
