Hinkle2891 Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 ok, i really SUCK at tying knots. i tried the palomar, and i couldnt do it. so, i have an idea and was wondering if it would work. i have some bobber stoppers from steelhead fishing. would those work to put under the hook instead of tying it on?

Siebert Outdoors Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 Its a good idea but I would be afraid of it slidding off the line. If you hook into a good fish and it slides it could also cut your line. Just some thoughts that I had. Quote
Super User Sam Posted August 2, 2006 Super User Posted August 2, 2006 The Palomor knot is very simple. Just practice and you will get it in no time. I use it on all of my lures, even big spinnerbaits and buzzbaits. You can't lose with a Palomar. Of course, I will admit that sometimes I get it all screwed up and have to start over but please don't forgo this special knot. As for drop shottiing, I make sure I have a lot of line sticking out of the loop on the sinker. This way I have a better chance of saving the sinker. Quote
