Hybrid Knot

[N.Y. Yankee]

Have you seen the knot that combines a Clinch Knot and a Palomar Knot? You double the line and tie a Clinch first but before you tighten it, you go down over the lure like a Palomar. Bring the loop up and pull the line tight. Looks like the best of both worlds for something like a slippery super line.

I've experimented a lot with knots, trying to come up with some of my own and learn a bit about how they work.  And while I haven't tried that particular one, I would expect it to perform pretty close to a regular Palomar.  It seems to me that it should still have the same weakness in the pinch point as the Palomar, but with extra steps and bulk.  Then again, I can't say anything for sure until I've tried it.  With any knot you want to balance breakage versus slippage.  The more the knot's forces are spread out, the less likely it is to break the line, but the more likely it is to slip.  The more you concentrate the forces, the more likely it is to break, but he less likely it is to slip.  

 

For braided line, try a Fish N Fool, Reverse Improved Clinch, Or San Diego Jam.  They're all fairly easy to tie and hold better than the Palomar.
