Doubled uni

Easier for me to tie than the doubled San Diego jam

For me, it's the most reliable for all line types

Versatile knot--if you cinch it early, you make a loop knot. If you make a very long tag end, use it for drop shot. No problem using it for crig line to swivel on both sides of the swivel

Palomar, but make sure to wet it and do not cinch the knot too tight. It will break!!


Send it!

This is what I tie the best. Take your time and wet it.

Palomar sucks for me.

Haven't broken a Palomar Knot in two years. It's all I have used on Fluorocarbon and braid. Wet it good and cinch it down slowly. Pay attention to the loops so they cross around the line evenly.
