Thread: Palomar Knot vs. 1/64

I also use a loop knot a lot but tie it different. I used a knot that I’ve seen listed as “ Lefty Kreh’s no slip loop knot”. I’m sure it’s got other names but that one works for me, and Lefty was a great man for our sport. The difference I see from some knots is that properly tied the tag end point down towards the bait and doesn’t collect much trash along the way. Also, Richard Gene fishes a lot of small jigs on 2lb mono. He says that he never uses a loop knot on two pound test due to the friction of the jig when a fish is on will wear down the line and make it weak. He uses a Palomar knot tight to the eye of the jig with little line. Lately, I’m also finding some of my storebought jigs aren’t completely closed at the eye and the line will come back without a jig and a complete knot on the end of the line. Might not hurt to check before you lose a pb to that.

No need to use a palmar . loop jig around main line once pull it through the knot and pull tight . Caught thousands with this basic loop knot .
