That depends on the line. For mono, which is my choice for these baits, I use an improved clinch. I would assume the improved clinch would be a good choice for copolymer as well. But I think I'd use Palomar for braid/fuoro because that's the only one I know for braid. Not quite sure about the fluoro because I don't use it and there are other personal preference people have.

I use improved clinch with all line except braid, then I use a palomar knot.

Palomoar you just go around the whole bait? I've done that and it seems off works... but seems off I've tied the improved clinch knot 2 times both the bait has been thrown off my line...

Palomar is about all I use for anything now.  Just go around the entire bait.  Tie it right and you'll never break it.  

 

Others I have tried are the improved clinch, San Diego jam, and UNI knots.  All are good.

Trilene knot is a lot simpler to tie if you put your index finger in the second loop created .

I call it a Palomine knot because if you are my partner in a tournament and you lose a fish due to a snapped line due to the knot -YOU are no longer a  PAL O MINE

Exactly. I have never lost a bait due to a knot breaking or coming undone with palomar. If I get hung up real bad hooks get bent but the knot comes back fine.
