At a young age I tried to rebel and find a better knot and he said look here, I've caught tarpon up to 200 lbs with that knot on 20 lb test, i supported our family with that knot, I don't see why you would think there is a better knot than that. You can guess which knot I have always used, the improved clinch. The palomar is a very strong knot but it is hard to tie with a large bait with treble hooks and you have to cut the knot off with a knife instead of pulling it off with your teeth. That being said the only other knot I use is a snell when cat fishing because they spin when they fight and with a regular knot they always get the line caught in the gap where the eye of the hook meets the shank and the rough edge there will cut your line sometimes if you aren't snelling your hooks.

Hey Cornholio, depends on the type of line I'm using. I've recently been shown a knot that I've never seen before. I'm having some very good results. I'm going to try to find a video to post .

Check out the San Diego Jam Knot. You won't break it , and its very fast and easy to tie.

I just picked up a book last week on knots, it's called the ultimate book of everyday knots by geoffrey budworth very informative and instructive.

I use the palomar for most everything but I use an arbor knot for tying line to a spool on a baitcaster. The improved Albright is my favorite knot for using a leader on braid and all 3 knots are strong and simple as can be

Uni-knot for everything. Blue marlin, flyfishing for everything in fresh and saltwater, tournament bass fishing, and this weekend on red snapper. Uni-knot splice takes practice though.

I do a lot of tarpon and cobia fishing and knot strength can vary greatly according to the knot you tie. (Especially braid)I developed my own knot for braid and it faired better than all the above mentioned knots in a strength test. Also remember that some knots are very strong but do not have good shock value, (shock value is how the knot holds up during an aggressive hook set - which is not needed for circle hooks) Knot: Double your braid and run it through the eye of the hook and bring it back around through the eye of the hook again. Then tie an improved overhand clinch knot and cinch carefully keeping all tags tight at the same time. Note: Do not use an overhand clinch knot for braid without doing the above. It will break if setting the hook on a large fish. I've used this knot to catch countless tarpon, cobia, and in saltwater tournaments and it has never failed me.
