    Use the improved Clinch Knot

    Been using Flouro for years and won't ever go back to Mono. Always used the Palomar Knot and had the occasional breakoffs on the hookset and I do use the Gorilla Hookset. I saw a video on the Palomar Knot about if the line gets crossed a certain way when cinching that no matter how much saliva you use it will break. I went to the Improved Clinch Knot earlier this year and have not had one single issue. Try it and you will like it. You can visually see when it is tied correctly as well and there is no way to tell if the Palonar lines crossed and cut into each other.

    I use it here for tube and fluke fishing and @ Dale for everything. I buy it by the 1000yd spool. The Eugene Bend and San D Jam knot are great for it. I always use Eugene Bend Knot. Easy to tie in the dark. 8lb for River and 12&15 for Dale.

    That's a unique knot. I'll try that as well. I guess I really didn't realize how important the knot was with Flouro. I have tied the palomar thousands of times with mono and I'm sure many were not perfect but that line is very forgiving.
