Fifteen or twenty years ago I was at a sports show and they had a fishing line rep with a machine to test knots. He offered everyone a chance to tie their best knot and see how it held up. I tied the palomar and it went past the line test before breaking. I did it several times and each time it was stronger than you would have thought. The line would break and the knot would hold. We then tried the uni-knot and it held up almost as well. I never thought of it at the time, but if it would have been doubled going through the bait eye; I bet that it would have held as well as the palomar.
Since then those are the only two knots I use and I only use the uni-knot when I want more action out of a bait. I seldom use split rings on anything. Buddy |
