improved clinch.

i use an improved clinch but i saw on knot wars a knot that is stronger that i've used a couple times and works well just is more of a pain to tie... i don't remember the name of it but loop through the eye twice then wrap the line around the 2 loops a few times and pull tight

I believe it is best to lick your line and get a bunch of spit on it. I don't think there is any better lubricant than spit.

I agree with Aquaman.The Palomar is rated at near 100%.I've been using it exclusively for years and have never had a problem.

yeah thats the one i always new it was strong and it was proven on that show pound for pound but it just takes longer to tie for me rather than a few quick spins then the improved clinch... but i don't tie it too often so with practice im sure timing would be about the same

[rgfixit]

Other than special purpose knots...these are all I use.

actually palomar isn't the one i was thinking the trilene is lol... wow ive never posted so much on one thread 

[scavengerj]

I always use the one I can tie the best

i fish with fluorocarbon most of the time, and use the improved clinch.  the line i use has never snapped on a fish, but on snags, the line always breaks before the knot does, every time.  i don't tie mine with spit, either.

Palomar knot or the improved clinch, with ample saliva. Either is easy to tie and perform very well.

Thanks for this post....Ive been using the Palomar knot for a while but I never knew the name of it...was tought it by a buddy of mine that just called it "the best knot ever" but I figured it had a more real name..haha
