I use the palomar knot 99.9% of the time.

Copy that, except for crankbaits. Here is a good page also: http://www.steelheader.net/knots/knots.htm
Now I just need to get the blood knot down, that one gives me trouble.

palomar for things that have split rings, uni for regular hooks and worm, and loop knot (rapala knot) for things without split rings

Crawford figure 8. Probably the easiest to tie in the dark.

I use palomar. clinch, berkley knot. and a real a "weapon the rapala loop with my fat raps. its gotta be good the lure used to come with instructions on how to tie it on waterproof paper.

I mainly use the polamar knot. It won't slip as easily as most knots. I also use a loop knot when fishing topwaters and some crankbaits to give them better action.

This is a really cool Knot tying site, just pick the fishing button in the middle at the top of the page. I personally use the palomar for basically everything, strong and very easy and fast to tie.

palomar knot. Its self contained and won't slip even if you cut the tag too short. Never had a palomar knot fail.

For some reason I suck at Palomar knots, I just use the Improved Clinch.

Sluggo · 03-30-06, 01:56 PM

another great knot is the quick knot works great for mono and braid and is "quick" to tie.
