BK19 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 trilene knot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappiekid24 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Trilene or palomar. Depends on what I am tying on to. If it is big I will use trilene if it is a small I will use the palomar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleyeslammer Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 If I use mono I use the trilene knot, if I am using fireline I use the knot on the fireline inside packaing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwhjr Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Mostly palomar, but occasionally a Trilene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Drummer Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 palomar on braid and when i rarely use mono or floro its a trilene knot. if my trilene knot breaks and the line is too unworkable ill just tie a fishermans knot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbandit Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Mostly palomar but sometimes a uni when tying on flies or inline hooks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG DS Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Quote:I use a Palomar on everything but braid.Uni knot on braid or when tying two lined together. I prefer these two knots, but when tying on a plain hook I use the snell knot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasmcneil Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I use the Uni knot. I've used the trilene knot for years, but I feel the uni knot is stronger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighbor_guy Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Polamer almost exclusively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skee0025 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I have no idea, My grandfather mearly said this is how you tie a lure on and it has worked for me for over 30 years with no problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbad401 Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Palomar knot for everything. I have used the Clinch Knot like my father-in-law does, the Palomar is easier for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uwecsteeple Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Palomar for everything too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddog Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 On super braids I use the palomar knot. On mono I use the Improved clinch Knot. I do find it almost (ha ha) imposable to use the Palomar knot to tie a leader onto a swivel without cutting off the swivel or feeding the rod and reel through the loop of the knot. the snell, uni, biminy twist, albrite and the nail knot are just few other knot I use.

goblueM Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 I use a crawforwd figure 8 knot for mono, and a palomar for braid. And a uni-to-uni for joining sections of leaders. All I've ever needed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimBuck Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Palomars and Uni's.....yeap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurolarva Posted November 30, 2008 Share Posted November 30, 2008 Polomer on crystal and trilene knot on flouro or mono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deitz Dittrich Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 For ice gear, mostly an improved clinch knot for me...Or a Eugene Bend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkled Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I use a trilene know for mono, palomar for all non-mono. These knots both double up on the eye connection so they are strong. I never "break" at the eye with these knots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoozebutton Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 albrite and the nail knot are just few other knot I use. I saw that Albright knot when I looked up knots and it looked like it would be pretty strong for tying leaders onto braided. Does it work okay for that?Here's a link to how it's tied:http://www.animatedknots.com/albright/in...imatedknots.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmannd Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Mostly palomar, but occasionally a Trilene. I agree, I use a palomar about 98% of the time on everything. Just a tough knot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddog Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Super braids will slip with this knot. If you want to join a Super braid line to a mono or Fluorocarbon leader use two nail knots. Tie the leader over the Super braid and the Super braid over the leader and slide (jam) them together. If you find the nail knot hard to tie, fly fishing shops have a tool for tieing nail knots and they come with a line clipper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulllakeguy Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Palomar where I can and Uni for everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
