I always use a Palomar knot with braided line. Quick and easy to tie and I have used it with braided line up to 250lb without a slip.

Me either but lost 20 bucks worth of cranks due to big cats biting the line into on the mono. Caught a bunch. Gonna at least make a leader and hook it to the crank.

John, I have found the improved clinch works for me. Tried all them fancy knots and they were not any better. I tie the knot, wet just like mono,pull tight, cut off leaving about 1/4 in tag just in case it slips a little. Never had it come loose. I cant tie the palomar right or something. Broke off lots of spinner baits and cranks with it. That's when I went back to clinch. It might not work with some of the new super slick lines. Try some different ones and wrap around a stick and give them a pull.

I always used a double palomar when I fished with braid back in my bass fishing days.

Pink catches more slimmers at sardis than any bandits I have.

I use the 20# braid and I've always used the palomar knot. I've never had it fail.

Triple left handed granny with a double half hitch works fine with me. Palomar knots are easy.

John, next time we see each other I will show you the knot I have been using that always works. Never lost a crank yet and have landed a bunch of slimers and big bass.
