This^^^. I drift fish for cats, and when I switched to this knot, my hookup ratio doubled.

Never tied a snell knot. It looks like you have to use a leader with it?

Doc, you can do it without a leader. Here you go:

The palomar knot is fine but with flurocarbon it can pinch the line causes breaks, I used to only use palomar knots with an occasional break but i switched to the Grigsby knot which you can see on youtube have broke a tie yet.

In step 3-4 we use an arbor knot if it is a single jig or the bottom jig on doubles. Tie to after the knot you made in 1-2.

I use a uni on almost everything. I have really bad eyesight and I can tie it by feel.

How would you know if you actually broke a knot? There is really no way.


If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

At an Elite series event, I tied my knot and had it tested on a Berkley machine and won a free hat because it exceeded their 20 pound mark (on their supplied 10 lb test). When it broke, around 22 or 23 lbs, the line broke several inches from the knot. I watched others for a while and not one person tying the Palomar won a hat. Most of those knots broke around the 17 lb mark.

It's a clinch knot, but with the line doubled. It's very similar to the braid knot and looks like the braid knot when it is finished. It's very fast and easy to tie and easy to take off the eye of the lure. It's my go to knot, for sure.

I double the line and run it through the eye, make 5 full twists of the lure/hook, and then run it back through the gap in the line close to the eye, wet it, then cinch it down, cut the tag ends.

The number of twists that I use depends on the thickness of the line. I like to put at least 5 full twists, except for very heavy line. With light line, I may use 7 or so twists.

If the line is very curly, you can sometimes know if it broke at the knot. If the line is straight, then you can guess it was somewhere on the line and not the knot.

For going braid to leader an FG is hard to beat. Top water gets a Rapala Loop. Everything else an improved clinch. I like the Palomar a lot but my blind ass has trouble tying it. When I go to pass the loop over the bait I always hang up in the trebles.
