Those are to two knots I use the most for braid...
Like to use the Uni knot when I can..
But the Palomar is easier to tie in the dark when your donating lead to the Canal......  |

there is a pamphlet on what knots to use with power pro in the box the spool comes in. I prefer the albright with the line run thru the swivel twice.
|
Is it good, or is it Sofa King good?

Without a failer I have tried the palomar and trilene knots. On the trilene I double the bitter end then tie the knot - I always put a drop of Zap superglue on any braid knot. So far I like the P Pro. I lost a LARGE on that stealth crap  Took a prototype X plug taboot.

knots in PowerPro and BLUEFISH
I use Power Pro from 10 lb. on up and use only the uni knot (and the uni-to-uni to join two lines together), with six twists. Then again, I use unis in mono, attaching hooks and other terminal stuff, too. It's the best knot I've found and after forcing myself to use it a few years ago it soon became second nature to tie.
Couldn't get through the blues today guys. It's like they were stalking me!!!

Save yourself more agony and some money (long term if not right away).
Use Fireline. |

Mike P,
Is the latest Fireline better than days of old. I tried the stuff a few+ years ago and had constant breaks when casting plugs$$$.
vr,
Chris

Never had a single one with either 20# or 30#. We're talking hundreds of fish and thousands of casts on each.
I did have one unexplained break on 14#.
I like the fact that it has just a little bit of memory so it lays better on many of the older design spinning reels--the Penn Z and SS, Daiwa BG, VS, and so on.
Haven't used it much on conventional.
