Palomer works great with braided.

For tying a leader line? Uni to Uni to connect two lines together

 

If it is power pro line use the inst. included.

Palomar is THE knot to use when tying braid to an eye or swivel, but you can use a uni knot too. The uni knot is the only knot to use when attaching braid to leader.

palomar for direct tying

Ok i just spooled my rod and man is this stuff hard to cut. My line clippers did nothing, i had to use a pocket knife...

Just keep that in mind next time you are snagged ... it will save you a rod tip or maybe a nasty line cut .... I hate the stuff ... although I do use it for the BIG toothy girls

What happened when you tried to use the pocket knife?

 

Palomar is what I use. The braided lines manufacturer website will have knots to use. Mono is a lot different from braid a lot of knots will slip with braid.
