Palomar for everything that’s not a leader knot
Alberto for leader to braid
Trilene for times when a palomar isn’t possible.

I hope I’m correct, because these really are the only ones needed. cheers

Jam Knot for everything except
Alberto for braid to leader
Palomar doubled through hook eye when punching thick heavy mats. Braid only obviously.

No love for the overhand knot and granny knot I see. They have probably caught more fish than all the others put together! grin

Pitzen for moving baits, Double Pitzen for large or heavy baits
Palomar for hooks and for my drop shot
Alberto for line to leader. Double Uni works also and is easier to tie than the Alberto but the Alberto is a smaller knot when tied.

Mark Pack says Double San Diego Jam Knot for Flouro and hes much smarter than I am so that's what I use. Palomar for everything else.

Whatever you can tie consistently and relatively quickly.

I like
doubled uni for line to hook/lure, also what I use for drop shot.
crazy alberto for line to line


I did use a snell for a while for pitching/flipping but didn't see any benefit.
I can tie a doubled uni quicker and more consistently

For braid to hook, swivel, lure, etc. I use the Modified or Double Palomar. I've had the regular Palomar slip with braid.

For braid to mono I use the FG knot

I have used the loop knot for tying on lures to get more action

The Fish N Fool knot is easy to tie and pretty strong.
