Knots ?
 

I found a like on here about a week ago to a site that had instructions on how to tye. there were some I wanted to try but I cant find the link again. Anyone know what it was?

Thanks KL

You can find some animated knots here.

I only tie Palomer and Improved Clinch knot more or less.
Ever fish between Wehauser,the Bridge and Common Fence Pt.?

Last weeks Fisherman Magazine advertised a FREE booklet on knots and rigs, and listed a bunch of tackle shops where you can pick them up. Looked worthwhile...

Does anyone use a DOUBLE palamar?

What is the difference between the double and "single?"

Double palomar, Why bother?

I have never had a palomar break. Its easy and strong.
Thats what I tie 90% of the time.

Van,

The reason I ask is because of braid. I tie the palomar as well but have heard that knots slip with braid and that a dobule palomar should be used.?.?.?

I plan on tying a snap-swivel on the end of my braid and will hope for the best, unless I can figure out how to tie a double. Then I may try that. Can't be too safe I guess.?.?.?

Thanks,
Rob

Oh,

I don't use braids so I don't know what is preferred.
I do know that knots can slip with it. Maybe the double is needed for that. I guess test them well before they go into the water.

I have been having trouble finding a good knot for hybrid line, it is so slippery the tag end goes right through the knot when i cinch it. I test every knot at my work bench and sometimes use a scale to see the break strength.

Good idea! Thanks for the tip.

I use what is called a Trilene knot and have never had it slip with braids (Fireline, Power Pro, Stealth). Its easy to tie and strong. I think it is also referred to as a double uni knot.

Hi Buzz_ard

Yes I do on ocation fish some spots along there. I have a few spots that seem to produce well at specific tides or time of year.
