Anyone tying the "Berkley Braid Knot"? Thoughts?

[Cory20]

uhhh ^

 

[Grey Wolf]

Can you say Palomar ????????????????

[fishfordollars]

Nope, I'll stick with my palomar.

[bilgerat]

It looks like a trilene knot doubled up.

[Pencil Pusher]

That's a double line clinch knot with extra wraps.

[BassinWill301]

Yup its a double clinch knot, but I will just stick with the palomar.

[Cory20]

Wow, I'm surprised that no one has said anything about using a Palomar knot.  The Palomar is generally regarded as one of the strongest and easiest knots to tie, you guys should really give it a try.  

 

I did some striper/surf fishing this weekend (gorgeous in RI) and asked someone at the local salt water tackle shop what knot he used when you're using a double mono leader.  He said the Berkley one was THE BEST, so I thought I'd ask the experts.  

Has anyone tried the Palomar?  Anyone know any good knots for this application?

[Grey Wolf]

You just made a funny.

Here's a picture on how:

Umm, look at 3 of the previous responses. Palomar is the way to go. Period.

I actually use the berkley knot for braid applications. I find it very easy to tie and cinches down very easilly. With the palomor knot i find that some times the knot does not cinch down all the way and I have to retie.

I've been using the improved clinch knot on braid for years and have had really no issues on slipping or breaking at the knot

[Bassboss]

Double Palomar, I'm I the only one how knows about this knot, it the same as the Palomar but instead of doing a half hitch, you'll do a hull hitch! Works BETTER, yes you heard me BETTER than the Palomar!

This must be you then..... :

Double Palomar Knot

PS- Did you mean "full" hitch???  Simply refusing to use that spell check again? :-/

[tyrius.]

Works BETTER, yes you heard me BETTER than the Palomar!

You've tested this theory then?  Care to share your results showing increased break strength, shock strength, etc?

That's a double line clinch knot with extra wraps.

The clinch knot(single or double) is wrapped from the hook up the line, but the Berkly is wrapped the opposite way.

[Wayne P.]

I've never used that knot and from the looks of it, I never will. I see some elements that may result in an imperfect knot (double line, two line loops and multiple twists pulled down to the hook eye).

I don't have any problem with the Palomar or Uni-knot.

You are correct. I didn't look close enough to the way the wraps were done.

[moloch16]

This looks like an interesting knot.  I like the Palomar the best but it's a pain to tie on a buzzbait, crankbait, etc.  I've been planning to experiment with the uni knot and this looks like one I'll try as well.

[South FLA]

For braid the Palmor knot has NEVER failed me, I repeat NEVER.
