  • The Palomar Knot is widely considered the strongest fishing knot.
    Though there are many tests which prove there are a few in this category, the Palomar seems to be one of the more versatile ones and most importantly, easy to tie.
    I use this knot especially in cold weather where my fingers lose dexterity.
    It's great for adding a dropper and works well on braid, mono and any other line!

      I agree the same. I fished alot when I was younger with my late ex stepfather but as an adult I gave up fishing but recently just picked it back up. I try doing other knots but it takes me forever and end up not catching anything or losing the rig cause of bad knot tying makes not want to fish. The last time I went I nearly spent an hour setting up a flicker minnow just for it get tangled up on its self and in my frustration I end smacking it on the dock destroying it.

    • @srbontrager
      @srbontrager 5 днів тому

      @jamesrobinson1022 Not to mention, all the effort to not catch a damn thing. Back in my teens and early twenties, I did fish more frequently. However, the reward to effort ratio was depressing for me. Since my late twenties and now in my late thirties, most of my efforts have gone into hunting, foraging, and target shooting. If I do any fishing, it's only be for eating. I'll set up several *yo-yo reels and go occupy myself either with my Ruger 1022 and some targets or go foraging for wild edibles in the woods with occasionally checking to see if anything is caught on the yo-yo reels.
      *Yo-yo reels are legal to use in my state.

    @JohnSmith-ev7gz Рік тому +84

    This is a Palomar knot and on fluorocarbon line it isn’t good for heavier lures. The line will eventually cut through itself; after multiple casts the line will snap and the lure will continue on…or when a really big fish tugs on it after some fatigue it will snap. Excellent on braided line and mono isn’t as problematic but it will fatigue like the Fluoro line after awhile. Anyways, for Fluorocarbon a jam knot or clinch knot is best like a double pitzen knot or San Diego jam knot.

      I came to the comments to leave this, should've known it was already here. I really like this for braid, but that's it. Too many tight bends for anything else. Fluoro I use the Uni and it's awesome. Single uni is good for 30+ lb anything under that I do the double uni. Double seems to keep it from cutting into itself. Mono I just do a single uni doesn't seem to be nearly as finicky.

      @@CarsonHornbuckle-mt3nz yea I didn’t have issues until I was throwing 1/2oz and up lures with palomar knots - only on fluorocarbon line. After around 1-3 hours or so if casting the knot/line would just snap and bye bye lure. Also after a day of catching bigger fish with smaller lures (cats and 3-4lb bass) the Fluorocarbon line would end up snapping while bringing a fish in. Took awhile and some internet searching to find several pros mentioning this issue and their recommendation to switch to clinch/jam knots. Since I switched the problem has gone away. Still my go to knot for braid.

    The Palomar was the first knot my pop taught me when he taught me how to fish, and it was the only knot I needed to know.
    I still use it now, but only on braided line; on really thin 8-10lb mono/fluoro it tends to burn the line(even soaking wet) and make it weak so i use a fisherman's knot instead.

    The Palomar knot is my favorite knot I've never seen a tide like that interestingly enough I always just made a double line with the triple loop technique and then use the Palomar at the end I like the way that he did that believe it or not that's actually slick The Palomar in the Bimini knot are the only two 100% untiable knots. When he said it's considered to be one of the strongest knots I immediately thought that it was the Palomar until I saw him tying it and I said no that can't be right and then after the second loop he made I immediately knew that I was actually right it was the Palomar

    I usually use the Palomar knot on lures or I'll use a loop knot so it can have free movement for better action. For tying two lines together, like putting a leader of monofilament onto your braid, use the FG knot. It's the best knot in the world for that application. Finally, it's really hard to be the improved clinch knot for tying hooks and jigs onto your line.
