Fishing Knots

[BassNNutt]

I have been teaching my son how to tie his own knots, which knot do you all think is the strongest or do you prefer to use?

Palomar for mono. Trilene for Flouro + lots of spit.
Actually, the trilene works for any line, and it is easy to teach and learn.

I use P-Line, and I showed him how to tie a Palomar, actually taught myself how to tie the palomar from a website, I have always used a double improved clinch knot and never ever had problems with knot, only problem i have is when i get lazy and dont check line often enough around rock and wood.

PALOMAR is the strongest in all of the tests that I have seen. The only other knot that I use is the Rapala knot. That one I use for Zara Spooks only.

I like the Trilene knot for light tackle, which is what kids are most likely to be using. It's an easy and reliable knot. Like the Col said, gotta slobber all over it, or you'll burn your line. Palomar is also solid, and even easier to tie, but the Trilene's better on light line.

When you're posting links, a lot of times it helps to delete everything after the ".com" (or .org, etc.).

Thanks for all the advice. My son now can tie his own knot which will leave me more time to catch fish and getting snags loose...

The uni knot can be used with any line and tests as close to 100% as any knot.

And it is very simple to tie. I use it for everything except drop shot.
