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.

I don’t try feeding the double line through. I feed a single line through the eye first and then pass it back through the eye. I find it easier this way.

D’OH (face palm)…never thought it that ways.

Thanks for the tip there SuperDave336.

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.

loop knot for the win , the rest of them knots out there are for SURE wasting time

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!

Fish On!

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.
