They all have different uses.

I realize that but which one do you find yourself using most frequently?

[Guest ThisPlaceSucks]

i like the palomar knot as it is much smaller and less visible than the clinch knot. also i can remember hank parker testing them head to head with mono on his show years ago and the palomar outperformed the clinch knot by a few lbs on breaking strength.

[Syn]

For tying swivel, snap 30 and 50lb braid

 

on 8-12 mono and 6-10 flouro same knot but I don't double it.

[splashhopper]

what knot should I be using on 30lb braided line ( power Pro) ?

[Kinger]

I like the Rapala knot for cranks.

 

Palomer for most other hook/lure tying.

 

Improved clinch when i don't care about "finesse".

Haha - that's awesome. I read an article from Hank Parker in Bassin' like 15+ years ago with the same results... that's why I always use the The Palomar Knot.

I use the uni..... toughest knot IMO!!!

Double Surgeons Loop for cranks and some jigs, Improved Clinch for everything else.

[backbay]

Palomar every time.

[ohhenrygsr]

Palomar for lures, jigs etc and blood knot for tying 2 lines together

[JohnF]

Palomar every time.

 

I really wanted that knot to work on my minnows - but it doesn't. Gotta tie a loop on Raps and AC Shiners etc. They just don't move right locked on tight.

I usually use the improved Trilene knot for mono and flouro, the palomar for braid...

 

I find that if I don't make enough twists with braid while using a Trilene knot, it will slide through...

I hear you, John; that said, I use a leader or snap alot of the time if I'm fishing cranks or jerkbaits, because I change baits often until I feel I've figured out what's working, and I hate re-tying. Also, there are always pike where I fish, so the leader is pretty much a must.

I tie direct to the lure for topwater, where it doesn't make any difference to the action.
