NEED A NEW KNOT

[flockshot]

the palomer knot slips with floro....hence the reason i didnt suggest it..thats all i use anymore(floroclear p-line..floro coated mono.) Great site fishking.

My Palimar knots never slip. It's my favorite knot next to the good fisherman's knot or trilene knot.

I agree with you Killit, my palomars don't slip either. When striper fishing I use a 20lb floro leader and don't have any problems with it.

maybe its that line..ive only tried it with the P-LINE...assumed it would slip on full floro so ive never botherd...thanks..its an easy knot..

i still do like the loop knots though...makes the bait move more.

That's true, a loop knot does allow for better stickbait action. I like the palimar for the simple speed of it- takes a flat second to have a new lure or leader tied up securely.

:blink: you must "knot" be tying it right......we catch 600 pound Tuna....on 80# flouro....with a p-knot

I love loop (Rapala) knots for crankbaits.    On the knot slippage...I always (when possible) hit the tag end of my line with a lighter to get that little hard bump to help keep it from slipping through and loosing the whole knot. I've always felt better at least

That's cause you're a pro. lol

I agree with most everyone, the palomar knot is the way to go. I use it with P-line flouro no problem, You just have to lubricate it more and cinch it down tighter than with mono.
