So, I got a spool of spiderwire

[harritchate]

definately palomar to swivel... i have had limited sucess with uni-uni and blood knots working but the stealth is just too slippery

[libassboy]

Palomar is the way to go..will not slip and very easy to tie in the dark

You might want to use a finger protector if you're throwing bait with a sinker of 5 oz or more, and using a spinning reel.

You don't need anything protecting your leveling thumb if fishing conventional. Stealth is pretty smooth finished.
