30 is not strong enough, go to 65 pro. Palamor knot. Never look back.

Your using a clinch knot. Use a polomar or uni. If you really like tying clinch you will like the uni. I use a uni and have no issues with knot breaking or pullin free.

30 is not strong enough, go to 65 pro. Huh??? That is crazy! 30 is plenty strong. The problem is his knot....NOT the lb. braid he's using.

jig go flying in the air and the knot comes undone. If the knot is coming undone, you need to 1. make sure you are tying a palomar, 2. make sure you are tying it correctly, 3. add a overhand knot at the end so the tag end won't slip back through under any circumstances. #3 may not be necessary, but it makes me sleep better at night. Follow this advice including step 3.

Scrape the coating off the braid before tying will help some.

I have had the same issues with cinch knots and braid. I made the switch to the palomar knot and problem solved.

Don't forget braid gets pretty slick which may be making your knot slowly come undone and slide off the tag end. I used to have the same problem come to find out my tag end was too short and the knot was coming undone.20 jigs later....

Palomar, but I add an overhand knot on the tag in, to insure it doesn't unravel. Braid is just like rope. I mainly use 65# Power Pro.

Also if it's a baitcaster I would recommend using 40 pound braid or heavier. The small diameter will cause it to dig into the spool and break off on a cast.

I use a what I call a double Palomar, learned it from someone here on the TFF. When you tie the Palomar and make that underhand knot, just wrap it twice. It will be a bit tough to sinch down, but it will hold like a champ.

Just use the old trilene knot. Never had an issue.
