90% of the time I tie a knot my grandpa taught me as a kid. I have no clue what it's called. It's not all that different from a fisherman's knot. I can tie that knot blind folded in a hurricane. I know for certain it's not the strongest knot out there, but old habits die hard. Line has gotten so good in the last decade I can't remember the last fish I lost because I broke off at the knot. All that said, if I'm on trophy water I'm tying a Palomar knot. Crazy Alberto for braid to flouro.

Palomar 100% of the time line to hook/lure. Double Uni 100% connecting two lines or when spooling line on the reel.

Uni knot for the bait, double uni for the leader connection. Easy and fast, and retains 90% breaking strength according to Bassmaster magazine a few years ago.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

What knot do I use for fishing? Da! A “fisherman’s knot” of course. Learned this from my father at a very young age(he’s 86 now and still kicking!) and it has served me very well for so many years: ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2020/04/full-34948-48090-2f199d60_6172_4af2_9942_0891714fc980.png) That’s an improved clinch

I used Palomar almost exclusively for years.
After suddenly experiencing breakoffs with my normal line, I started trying the Trilene knot. The breakoffs went away.
