I began using the Trilene knot for braid about three years ago and I cannot remember ever having it break or the knot slip and come undone. As a single layered knot it really looks like it would not be that strong, but its really solid and easy to tie. Best of all, if you practice a little, you can tie it so that your tag end is the right length and you wont have to trim it so it saves you some money in fishing line.

Then pull on the main line till I feel the "pop". Then cut the tag off about a 1/16" close. Never, ever had it fail. I've broken rods, straightened hooks, you name it. Only way to get the jig/frog off is to get the fiskars out and cut it off. Eat. Sleep. Fish.

It is a uni with the line through the eyelet of the bait twice instead of once.

Trilene x100 I have used palmar, its brittle in my opinion. tried uni, I use double uni on flouro and love it but on braid trilene is best. I haven't broken a fish off at the knot since I switched. I have converted a buddy who was DIEHARD on Palomar. Test all you want, when we go out and I don't break off at all for the whole trip. and I do that several times in a row with you... i'll convert you I do also tie an overhand knot in tag in and leave 3/8-1/2 an inch tag. Just feels safer. the only time I don't use it is to snell a knot for punching or flipping reeds Last edited by catslayer; 04/29/15 02:08 PM.

This is what I do. I've never had a problem with it slipping or failing.
