Andrew Coleman Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I tend to switch between lures often, and would like to know what knot you use to change quickly and keep strength. Quote

Andrew Coleman Posted February 6, 2008 Author Posted February 6, 2008 hmm, palomer-3 : anything else-0 ;D Quote
Shadcranker Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Yep - here's a diffferent one- PALOMAR (capitalized). I tie it 90% of the time, although I've heard that it is not the best with flouro, but I can't stand the way flouro handles, so not an issue. Quote
Super User Jig Man Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 I tie the San Diego Jam and can do it in 10-12 seconds with gloves on. It takes me a lot longer to tie a palomar. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted February 6, 2008 Super User Posted February 6, 2008 SD jam knot with flouro, and palomar with mono. Quote
moby bass Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I tie the palomar alot as well, but if the lure/hook is too big to get the loop over comfortably, I tie a hangman's noose. The more pull, the tighter it gets. Never had one come undone. Quote
maxke01 Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 not sure what kind of knot its called but i pretty much loop swoop go back through and pull ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Quote
SpringCantComeSoonEnough Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 I tie the palomar alot as well, but if the lure/hook is too big to get theloop over comfortably, I tie a hangman's noose. The more pull, the tighter it gets. Never had one come undone. I used to tie a noose exclusively a few years ago, but I had way too many breaks at the eye. I think it gets too tight after a while. Then I came up with a knot that was similar to a snell, but a little different. I kid you not, I was breaking nooses left and right, sat down for about 5 minutes, and came up with it. Up until about a year later, I had never seen a snell tied in my life. Quote
surfer Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 If you need to study up on some of these knots this page is good at explaining them. http://www.animatedknots.com/indexfishing.php I am faster at the uni knot, but thats just due to practice. Quote
Pond Hopper Posted February 6, 2008 Posted February 6, 2008 Palomar is nice and quick. +1 8-) +2 Fastest knot that I know. + 3 Ronnie +4, the only thing I do not tie the palomar on is an ice jig Quote
maxke01 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 ahh thanks for that link...the Rapala knot is the one i have using since i started fishing, didnt know there was a name for it and was never taught. Just used it 8-) Quote
ejtaylor822 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Palomar is nice and quick. +1 8-) +2 Fastest knot that I know. + 3 Ronnie +4, the only thing I do not tie the palomar on is an ice jig +5 for the palomar. Gotten pretty fast with the San Deigo jam not after watching one of the pro's tie it on TV. After looping it through the eye and then pinching back up the leader, he let the lure hang loose underneath and swung it around creating the wraps. Tuck it back under, through the loop and wet it a little and cinch it up. Quote
GeorgiaSpotSticker Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Improoved Cinch and Polomar get my vote. Quote
d.hark Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 Never had a reason to try anything other than the improved clinch although I am using the SanDiego jam on braid Quote
alger319 Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 polomar w/ mono -everything else gets a uni Quote
Super User Catt Posted February 7, 2008 Super User Posted February 7, 2008 Palomar on every thing Quote
Triton_Mike Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 I use this knot almost exclusively. Not sure about quickest but its one of the strongest for not only braid but fluorocarbon and nylon mono as well. It hasn't lost me a $200 swimbait yet (knock on wood) LOL Quote
