Palomar Knot vs. 1/64
Hello Fellow Crappie Lovers-
Newbie here.
Like the title says, how do you get a doubled over mainline through such a teeny tiny 1/64th jig head eyelet to perform a palomar knot?
Thanks for reading and mass thanks for replying.

Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.

SuperDave explains the easiest way to tie the palomar up in his post. I do the same as he does on something that small. Rarely though do I use a palomar on a jig. Normally with jigs I tie a loop knot to give the jig some freedom to move and hang better in the water.

Hmmm…. great suggestion there DWILL. I will definitely think about that.

After DWILL’s suggestion of trying a loop knot instead of a palomar, I stumbled upon the surgeon’s loop and that is the way I will be tying my jigs from now on.
Thanks DWILL!

This is the method I use as well. This is a simple but very strong knot. The non slip loop knot is also a real winner.

I go through the eye twice tying a "trilene" knot. I use it on everything and has worked well for me.
I like using Sufix Pro mono line with that knot.
