What Type of Knot Do You Use

Been noticing when Fish PIC's are shown
we have a tendency to use our "Favorite Knot"

Myself,
I use a Crawford Knot
for when I see the figure eight,
I know it can be tightened

What Knot Do You Use ?

billygee :rolleyes:

Mostly use a Palomar and have been since the late 1960's. Have not found a reason to change yet, but have tried a few others and at times will use a loop knot. We use to fish a lot at night for bass and learned the Palomar and can tie it in the dark.

Palomar for larger line and improved clinch knot for the smaller lines and braid.

Improved clinch knot....and loop knots

Improved clinch knot

Clinch knot most of the time. Loop knot for spider rigging.

Since I can hardly see the hook eye I use this method.

Thanks. I too have trouble seeing and more problems manipulating the line with the stubby tree trunks I call fingers.

Palomar and loop, but mostly I use a modified Trilene /clinch knot. Like the clinch but I run the tag end through the hook/lure eye twice wrap tag around main 3-4 times then through the double loop and finish like the clinch. This knot has served me well on braid, mono, and fluorocarbon lines. In low light I'll go to Palomar knot.

For tying the jig to the line: Berkley Trilene knot, or Improved Clinch knot.

For finishing jigs, 2 whip finishes and a drop of Sally Hansen's Hard-As-Nails.

Palomar, loop, and Albright. Depending on what I need the knot to do.

Crawford knot for me.

Thanks Guys

Never expected these many Favorites

Great YouTube method
Thanks for sharing :ThumbsUp


I also use the Palomar Knot when conditions warrant,
such as winds or cold fingers
for the Palomar can just about be tied with your eyes closed

Checked with some of the guys in my area on their knots,
found out that they are turning to the Repala or Non Slip Loop Knot on light jigs,
reason being the jig seems to be holding a better horizontal pattern
during vertical jigging and slow retrieve

May just give that a try next time out
