Knot for Braid Straight to Hook?

[GTN-NY]

I’m sure this has been asked and I did search for it but.....

What knot do you use to tie braid straight to your hook?

Thanks!

San Diego jam knot, or uni..depending on lure weight, ect..

Back in the 50's we used a braid knot before super braids became availble in the 80's.

The braid knot is basically a double line clinch knot. The knot ends up with 3 ends after cutting off the double line loop used to tie the knot and the tag end.

I still use the old braid knot because coated braids tend to slip with single line knots.

Palomar knot

Shark knot, learned that from Zona a few years ago and haven’t looked back.

Improved clinch knot.

Snell for punching and Palomar for everything else.

That is the original braid knot renamed like most knots today.

I didn’t even read your post to be honest. This is a great knot. Not the prettiest, but the fish don’t care.

I use this knot for everything, mono or braid..

Palomar I clinch it down as tight as I can but still leave a little extra tag end in case it’s not tight enough.

 

[GTN-NY]

Palomar has always been my favorite but didn’t know it was good on braid  
 

I had to look up the Fishing Fool knot. I never heard of that one. 

 

The original braid knot is one I remember from the 80’s when braid first hit the market big time.

Uni, or if worried, the Fish N Fool which (as already stated) is the Uni with the line going through the eye twice.

I've fished braided Cotton, Dacron, Micron, Suture Material (Silk), Micro Dyneema®, Kevlar, & Spectra.

 

Palomar ?

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

Fish-n-Fool better than palomar for sure.

Double Palomar

I use a palomar, EVERYONE I know uses a palomar. I've never seen this knot fail, its the easiest knot in the world to tie and you can do it in the dark. What could be better than this?

A No-brainer if ever there was one!

I have seen the palomar knot fail due to the line crossing.  One of my friends was using it for a while and did not realize there was a correct and incorrect way of tying it .

Palomar knot for braid, improved clinch for Fluoro or Mono. IMHO do not used the improved clinch on braid.

Same here, but I don't fish braid with hooks, only on frogs and this is my go to knot.  Also use it for mono and flouro.

[Steveo-1969]

I use the Trilene knot for every line type: braid, mono and fluoro.
