I rarely use Mono because I don't fish topwater that much but when I did, still never had a problem with the Palomar knot. I thin it is the way you tie the knot, you have to make sure it is MOIST when cinching down, I don't cinch too fast as to make more heat build up in the knot plus make sure it is on top of the eye of the jig an not down around the bottomof the eye of the jig when cinching down.

I agree with you elnut, I have always used the Palomar but like I said when I started using the heavier Flouro I had two big fish that left me with a squirly noodle at the end of my line as if the knot failed which dropped my confidence in the knot for that type of line. Perhaps your right, there is a chance that I got into a hurry and did not seat it correctly. Thanks for the reply. I found this video that I caught my attention...
