    Re: What is the best Knot for flourocarbon line?

    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!

    I've been tying a double Eugene bend (through the line tie twice), and then twist the looped end around the main line 3 or 4 times. It is stronger than the palomar with the lines I've been using, and can be tied just as quick once you get it down. I don't always here the click or pop, but it's still strong. In most cases I think the palomar is good enough though, but i might save a lure or two with this new knot. IMHO
