My main knot is the loop knot but I also tie polamar knots when I want a knot tight to the hook.

Loop Knot for jig fishing, Palomar and improved clinch for just about everything else.

I never did know the name of the knot but the Duncon is what I have used for yrs. It won't cut itself, ties really tight and is fast to tie. Nothing beats a palomar for strength but is a bugger for me to get 2 lines in the tiny eyes of little jigs.

Wind forecasted to be high, so I opted to hunt close to home. Saw a spike and another Deer but no bang.:(

That's why I don't use it or the Trilene knot. For jigs, I use the Orvis (Becker) knot: simple, strong, and almost impossible to tie incorrectly.

The overhand is the one I use most, but if I am fishing around tight structure I go with a Bowline knot, or a round 2 half hitch knot. Its a bit over done but it will not slip or break. But in fast paced fishing like in the spring with crappie on beds and white bass the overhand does just fine for me.

x3 on the San Diego Jam knot. I can only make one pass through the eye of my quick clip. No loop knots needed.

uni-knot or fish-n-fool with braided line, just a extra loop trough the eye. Also the fish-n-fool won on a show called knot wars. I suggest you google them.

I'm old fashioned, Bill. I use the loop knot 95% of the time and can tie it in fifteen seconds without taking my eyes off the rodtips. For everything else, the Palomar is what I use.

Tie a jam knot but don't snug it really tight. Then when you pull on the tag end, you will have a good loop. It may get pulled down tight when you hook a good'un, but all you have to do is pull the tag end to get a loop back and you are good to go.
