What they said....I like palomar where ever I can tie it. It tests at 100% breaking strength of the line plus it has two lines that wrap around and make contact the hooks eye, instead of one for the clinch. Putting less stress on any one in case it gets knicked slightly. However, having tied the improved clinch all my life I can do it in pitch darkness without looking so sometimes in the heat of the battle I tie that or in cases where I have a heavy-ish leader and a tiny spro swivel where fitting two lines in that little hole is too binding. Both are good knots to know IMO. There are a handful of fishing knots you need to know IMO for different apps. Albright, surgeons, blood, dropperloop ect. Lefty (and Mark Sosin) has a good book out on knots...worth reading the discussion on their use for background, ...it changed the way I do a couple of things.
