I had three line breaks yesterday, all three were tied with Palomars, is there something that may be causing this repeated agravating scenario, all broke right at hookset, heavy cover flippin frogs, SNAP. SNAP. SNAP.
HELP! If you are not real careful with a palomar, when you cinch it down, one end will actually move toward where the bend in the hookeye mets the shank. That spot will nick the line every time. When I screw up and do not pay extra attention to that, I just cut it and start over. That!!! That right there is what causes a Palomar to fail!!  'At's why I allus tie uhh TRILENE KNOT!

I UL fish a lot. 4lb and 6lb line is what I'm using 75% of the time and the Palomar knot is the only one I really depend on for UL and L line fishing. Tie just about all of my line to hook/lure knots with a Palo Knot now.

Flurocarbon is so hard that it will actually cut into itself. So as before mentioned in the thread, make sure to wet and clinch evenly. The palomar is the only knot I use.
What did one bass say to the other???...I'd hit that

Recently, I worked as a volunteer for Pure Fishing at the National Boy Scout Jamboree. Specifically, I worked the knot testing machine.I had never been around one of these machines before and it was very interesting. Of all the knots tested, the palomar was by far the strongest.If tied properly, the line would always break before the knot. This was even when the line was breaking much higher than the stated line test. As previously stated, it is important to cinch it down slowly with good lubrication. The number one reason that Flourocarbon gets bad review is because of bad knot tying, but the palomar is NOT this best knot for Flouro.
