Thats the problem. Palomar does suck on fluoro. It is a wonderful knot for braid and mono.

I use double san diego jam for fluoro, palomar for braid and mono unless it is on a t-rig and on t-rigs I use a snell knot.

Mono---palomar
braid---double improved clinch
fluoro--shaw grigsby knot or double improved clinch
That's just me though
Use the one you have the most experience and confidence with.

If you don't know how to tie it correctly, then yes it does suck because it WILL break. It is a very strong knot if you tie it right and it works well with ALL lines, if tied correctly, that is the important part..

Eye crosser, but use 5-6 wraps instead of the
3 shown in some apps.

Improved clinch on everything except spinnerbaits. For spinnerbaits I use a World's Fair knot:

World's Fair knot

I have always found this knot to work especially well on spinnerbaits and also allows me to change quickly. I've never lost a fish on either regardless of line type.
