Clayton Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 hey guys I wanted to learn a new knot to tie for my bassin days. I dont have the name of the one I currently tie but it does work. I used to tie a fishermans knot. You know the one that you twist seven times? It sucked though. Let me know the ones you tie and you can post a description of how to tie it if you want. Quote
Live.2.Fish Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 I use palomer knot. Its great and I've never had failed knot with it. As far as how to tie it. Just google it and I'm sure there will be a lot details and pics. Quote
Captain Chaos II Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 San diego jam knot best bar noneGarnet Second the San Diego jam knot. Funny but I tied it for like 20 years before I knew the official name of it. It has never failed me ...... Quote
grid Posted March 20, 2007 Posted March 20, 2007 Fishermans knot? I always called it the Trynene knot. That is what I have used all my life. Never had the line break at the hook but I have to give it a tug to make sure. 70% of the time it breaks right after I tie it. So I have to redo to get it to hold. I second it as "sucks" Quote
Clayton Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 here is a link for the Jam knot. I have used this one before but never knew what it was called. http://www.marlinnut.com/knots/sandiego.shtml Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted March 21, 2007 Super User Posted March 21, 2007 I use a trilene knot never failed me and been tying it so long i can do it blindfolded along with a rapala knot i can do a uni knot really good also ... Quote
moby bass Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Hangman's noose. Easy to tie, never had one fail. Quote
=Matt 5.0= Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I use a palomar 100% of the time. I end up straightening the hook before the knot fails... Quote
Bluecraw Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I use the modified clinch knot. Here's a link with pics on how to tie most fishing knots: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/community/inthefield/fieldguides/guidebooks-category.jsp?hierarchyId=11049&oiPage=fieldguides Quote
Clayton Posted March 21, 2007 Author Posted March 21, 2007 does anyone know the double Palomer. Or have I misnamed it. Quote
Stringjam Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 For finer diameter lines (up to ~14 lb. test), the best knot I've used to date is the Double-Line Clinch Knot. First double the line and pass it through the eyelet - then tie a normal clinch knot (do not pass back through the loop). You'll want to pinch the end of your loop to a point to make it easier to to pass through the loop at the eyelet. It has been tested on Berkley machines as a 100% knot. For larger diameter monos, I still prefer a Palomar. For tying to small, very light crankbaits, jerkbaits and topwaters where any added hardware to the nose is a detriment to the action, I tie the Rapala knot. I typically would rather use a high-quality snap (like a Berkley CrossLock) on larger crankbaits and jerkbaits......not because it makes it easier to change baits, but because the snap enhances the action, and I have more confidence in the strength of the above-listed knots tied to the snap than the Rapala Knot for moving bass out of heavy cover (the best place to throw crankbaits... ) For tying a small diameter mono leader (~14 lb test mono) to braid, I use a Blood Knot. For larger diameter monos to braid, I tie an Albright. This is one area where I still don't have 100% confidence in knot slippage. There are a few other knots I'm going to try and I'll report as soon as I test them enough. Quote
Rob G. Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 Palomar, Trilene, and starting to use the Uni-knot some. Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted March 21, 2007 Super User Posted March 21, 2007 I only tie three knots. Palomar, Uni to uni, and the mono loop knot Quote
sodaksker Posted March 21, 2007 Posted March 21, 2007 I use the palomar to tie on all baits or hooks and the uni knot for line to line. Quote
skillet Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Palomar except on somethin where I have a whole handful of treble hooks and then it's the Trilene. When I started using the Trilene knot, I think I read where you were only supposed to go around only 4 times. Anymore and the heat build-up (on mono), because of the extra turns, would weaken the knot... As Ever, Skillet Quote
vaparrothead Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Palomar and Trilene; neither one has ever failed me. Quote
dukeintex Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Palomar...unless you are tying line to line...then use uni to uni. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 23, 2007 Super User Posted March 23, 2007 I used to use a clinch, now I tie everything on with a palomar knot. Quote
links_man2 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Been using the Uni-Knot for 30+ years and have never had a reason to change. It's as strong as any other knot I have tried and is simple to tie, even in the dark. Use the Uni for lures and the Uni-to-Uni to join lines/leaders. I don't like knots that take 5 hands to tie----too much of a fumble fingers I guess. Quote
extreme1018 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 i use a grip knot. it has been tested at 100 % line strength. i cant find any links on how to tie it but here is the short of it. line thruogh eye and double over make five turns around both lines and pass tag end through all five loops and cinch it down Quote
sal669 Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I use lots of them, it depends on what am I gonna tie to, line size, what tipe of fishing I'm doing (like conventional fishing, fly fishing,etc) For bass fishing I use 3 knots to tie to hook or bait : trilene, palomar and rapala(loop) I prefere the trilene knot for thinner lines and the palomar for heavier lines.About the turns on the trilene knot: depends on line size. 7turns up to 8 lb, 6 turns for 8-14lb, 5 turns up to 20(maybe 25), 4 turns for anything heavier. I dont use the palomar for lines less than 10lb. Rapala/loop knot goes on crankbaits. For line to line: uni knot (mono to mono or fluoro) and bimini twist( mono/fluoro to braid) Arbor knot for line to spool. Quote
