GoneFishingLTN Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 what knot do you use for these techniques? Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted July 18, 2017 Super User Posted July 18, 2017 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. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted July 18, 2017 Super User Posted July 18, 2017 I use an improved clinch with copoly, mono, and fluoro. 1 Quote
mwh33 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 I use improved clinch with all line except braid, then I use a palomar knot. 1 Quote
beginningfisherman Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 I've never used anything but an improved clinch knot. It is fast, easy, and always seems to hold strong for me. Quote
GoneFishingLTN Posted July 19, 2017 Author Posted July 19, 2017 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... Quote
Outdoor Zack Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 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. 1 Quote
Super User scaleface Posted July 19, 2017 Super User Posted July 19, 2017 Trilene knot is a lot simpler to tie if you put your index finger in the second loop created . 1 Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted July 19, 2017 Posted July 19, 2017 Palomine knot- It is the strongest knot for these types of baits-PERIOD Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 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 Quote

Tie it right and you'll never break it. 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. 1 Quote
