DINK WHISPERER Posted June 13, 2009 Posted June 13, 2009 I use the double Palomar knot for braid and it has never slipped(yet)! Quote
Super User Marty Posted June 13, 2009 Super User Posted June 13, 2009 I've never had a problem with the regular Palomar on my 15# Power Pro, but I can't say it's the "best" because I haven't tried others. Quote

Dont mess with success agreed...... haven't had one slip, or a break with the palomer on my 40lb suffix since i spooled up. Quote
Fish Chris Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 Well hey now guys, the palomar is a great knot, which I use a lot. But their are some situations where they just won't work. I also use a bloodknot to connect my braided main line, to my mono / fluoro leader. And I still use an imroved clinch for tying on big swimbaits. Yes, you could make a huge enough loop to bring all the way over your swimbait, so as to use a palomar knot for this.... However, I have found that by the time you cinch a palomar with that huge of a loop all the way down, you will have introduced at least a twist or two into your knot, and "that particular palomar knot" won't be worth a $### ! Peace, Fish Quote
Super User burleytog Posted June 14, 2009 Super User Posted June 14, 2009 Bingo, Palomar. Just moisten before tightening. Why would you moisten braid before cinching the knot? Quote
RippinLips86 Posted June 14, 2009 Posted June 14, 2009 so it will slide down all the way braided tends to stick to create a lot of friction when you use them it just ensures that you get the knot as tight as possible Quote
