airborne_angler Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Anyone have tips on how to tie this? I'm trying it with 65# Spiderline on my Frogs...just cannot get it to cinch down...am I the only one that has difficulty with this knot? Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted June 23, 2013 Super User Posted June 23, 2013 Go slow and slobber it up good before you tighten it up. Tying that knot with 65 lb braid might be overkill, I don't know. Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted June 23, 2013 Super User Posted June 23, 2013 I use just a single Palomar. Never fails so no need to change Quote
airborne_angler Posted June 23, 2013 Author Posted June 23, 2013 Might be overkill...In the vid its being tied with 80#...maybe its just tbe brand? Seems like way too much effort is needed to tie that double Palomar...wonder how many times a hook has ended up deep in someone's finger because of all the pressure involved in cinching that knot... I'm sticking with the regular Palomar... Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted June 23, 2013 Super User Posted June 23, 2013 I have never had any problem with a regular palomar. Quote
Super User Jrob78 Posted June 23, 2013 Super User Posted June 23, 2013 I couldn't watch the video but i've seen him use pliers to cinch that knot down. He said it didn't hurt to do that with braid. Quote
MrSwimJig Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Single Palomar with 65lbs braid is tough to cinch down and I could not imgaine trying to cinch down the dou ke palomar. Don't think a double palomar is needed. If so pliers to pull it should not hurt the braided line. Quote
Super User rockchalk06 Posted June 23, 2013 Super User Posted June 23, 2013 An easier knot would be the Shaw Grigbsy knot. I have yet to have it break with 40 # braid. Quote
