Thanks for the previous replys. Palomar it is. Oh, how about an improved clinch knot ? (thats what I usually always use when tieing knots in mono) how do they stand up with this stuff ?

Yes use a leader of lesser strength than your braided line.

I use a palomar knot from braid to a barrel swivel, then just clinch knots for my leader. improved clinch is fine

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
