What's your go-to knot?

Well there are probably about as many different knots as there are fish in the sea but it seems like most people have a favourite knot that they use more than any other. I used to use the improved clinch all the time but after losing a couple of my heavier lures I switched to a palomar knot and use that even when I should probably be using something else.

8lb(or less) mono or floro to hook, jig or cross lock - Orvis Knot

 

Adding a a tippet (leader - 8lb or less) - Orvis tippet knot

 

Polamar for all heavier mono

 

Uni knot for braids and joining a new line to an older backing

You should of added a poll to this message before you posted it. lol

 

I use a Palomar most of the time, but sometimes the improved clinch knot.

 

Heres a awsome site to check out for those who want to learn those knots plus more.

Each knot has a animation and instructions.

I use to just tie the improved clinch knot as that's what my dad taught me as a kid. Skip ahead 15 years when I started fishing again and while browsing online I fell in love with the Palomar knot. It's the strongest I've used and by far the fastest to tie even blindfolded. I've been using braided line now and use the double uni for braid to flourocarbon or tying to mono backing.

Line to hook - Palomar or open loop/rapala knots

Line to line - Triple surgeons (Significant difference in diameter)

Line to line - Albright special (Similar diameters)

Fly line to leader - Nail Knot

 

Snell and surgeons end loop when tying harnesses etc.

 

That about sums it up for me.
