    Re: What's your best knot?

    Have to agree on the Palomar knot for overall strength and ease of tying in the dark or if you have bad eyes. Just don't forget to moisten the line before you cinch it down tight. I believe in this know 100 % and the line will break before the know will ever come undone.

    Palomar On everything, and i find the trilene knot works best for me when attaching the leader to the second part of the swivel.

    Palomar knot on everything except when using 4# Trilene SensiThin, and then I use a Trilene knot.

    Oh and I use the Palomar on both parts of the swivel when tying leaders, or at least when I remember to tie leader on before the main line :-)

    Palomar for braid and mono, the improved cinch or triline knot on flor, I found that the palomar causes floro to break easy, due to when you pinch the line to thread thru the lure.
