A Palomar serves a different purpose than the FG knot which is used to connect braid to mono leader. The FG is a significant advance (much smaller profile and stronger) over uni-uni or albright variations if you plan to cast the knot through guides. Does away with a swivel and lets you use a much longer leader for abrasion protection and landing fish. I do notice the line about 6" from the knot frays after a while, however, probably because of overrun while the knot goes through the guides.
