gonebassin Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 What is a good knot for tying a small jig on 20lb fluorocarbon? Quote
backpain... Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 I use either a San Diego Jam or a Polamar knot. Both seem to work just as well in my experience. It just depends on my mood which one I go with. Quote
SausageFingers23 Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Im late to the palomar party but I use it as well Quote
CWilliams Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Palomar for me too. Thinking about changing to something new so I can have a different response to knot questions than everyone else. Quote
Super User Hammer 4 Posted April 9, 2010 Super User Posted April 9, 2010 I'd like to have a dollar for every post that contained the words...Palomar knot.. ;D Quote
sundog49 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I just started using the palomar. Easy to tie, strong, what was I thinking before? Great knot. Quote
Steve1357 Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Clinch knot, not improved clinch knot. When you get hung up, you can pull it loose, and not cut your hand or destroy your reel. http://www.fish4fun.com/knots.htm#Clinch%20Knot Improved clinch or Trilene knot is fine. The Palomar knot is overrated when using fluorocarbon... http://www.tackletour.com/reviewtrilenefc.html Go fishing, have fun. (and using a Palomar knot, might be tough getting two strands of 20lb line through a small jig eye) Quote

Super User Hammer 4 Posted April 10, 2010 Super User Posted April 10, 2010 Use 55 or 65 lb braid, and there are no hang ups..you pull out whatever your lure/jig is hung on.. ;D Quote
Super User Hooligan Posted April 10, 2010 Super User Posted April 10, 2010 What is a good knot for tying a small jig on 20lb fluorocarbon? Pitzen (16-20) with any fluoro. Quote
Simp Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 UNI! Since I've went to it I litterally can't remember breaking off at the knot or one coming undone. Quote
