Yes and I just ordered some of those today,thats weird.I usually use the #3 on mono their really small,I ordered the #2 to use on fireline I got 2 1500 yd spools and it was the new fused fireline and I lost 5 fish yesterday because the knots kept coming untied or wearing through.Never had that trouble before with the original.I tie a loop knot on the jigs under a bobber and it seemed to wear through the line,dont get it.Expensive mistake.$#!t line hope I can get it to work
yep we sell a bunch at the shop, we stock the ones called FasSnaps no need to pay for a name.
Do they also come in multiple sizes?Quote:

I have found this knot so easy to tie that it is all I use most of the time, good fishing
X2 on the PALOMAR
We stock 2 sizes Bob
I do use the palomar when tying directly to the eye of the jig but when I use slip floats I use a loop knot.Never had any trouble with original fireline,some were broke where the eye sets in the bottom of the loop with knot still intact and some just came untied.Had it happen twice today.
Some of the new braid slips quite easily i did a knot test and found even the palomar slipped on some line so I have gone to the double palomar with the braid. Friday I pulled the jig free at least six times straightened out hook everytime and saved the set up.
