Braided Line Users, What's Your Preferred ( Quickest ) Knot Of Choice?

[maleko]

I wanna start direct tying everything .. I direct tie hooks obviously. I use snaps for lures, spinners etc..

I want to see what you use if you are changing baits a lot etc.

thanks

for direct hook tying I use a snell knot right on the hook, for lures I go with a Palomar

Through eye twice 7 turn uni knot. My own testing it holds a few more pounds than a Palomar. And Knot Wars did head-to-head comparision of palomar and this uni knot with just 4 turns and the uni won.

Trilene knot or palomar.

[MDBowHunter]

Palomar, on almost everything

I use different knots. I just started using the Uni knot or Duncan knot. Really easy seems super strong and a small compact knot. I also use Palomar and double San Diego jam knot. Google different knot that's where I saw Shawn Grigsby do the double San Diego jam knot for fluorocarbon . All seem to work for braid.

I have been looking at quick knots to tie as well and I've started using the pitzen knot and improved clinch.  I guess it depends on which lure you're tying on to, maybe it's me but I had difficulty tying a palomar with bigger lures like spinner baits, crank baits and jigs with trailers.

The uni knot looks pretty easy too, I might have to try that one out.

Palomar for pretty much everything but for smaller flies or diameter lines i like the improved clinch or the uni knot most times.  For some reason i just don't like the palomar with mono or flouro.  No real reason but it is probably because i grew up tying the improved clinch and it worked fine on the mono of the day so it feels strange to tie something else.

Palomar for braid only...
