SacPig916 Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 San Diago Jam tied my style for mono Uni knot for Flouro/copoly Uni or double uni for braid I don't have a favorite knot, instead i've tested these to exhaustion and picked mine that way. These knots consistently test the highest across a wide array of different lines. Some of the knots vary by 3-4lbs depending on what time of line it is, so its super important to pick to correct one.

SumoNinja Posted July 10, 2022 Report Share Posted July 10, 2022 Uni for 12 lbs and under. Sd jam for anything bigger. For baits over 10 oz I do double sd jam Inkedup fishing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevro1et Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Double SD JAM for copoly and FC. I don't use braid for any applications. Inkedup fishing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthefisherman Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Improved Clinch Knot to the bait (8 wraps for straight braid, 6 wraps for everything else) and Alberto Knot from braid to a leader. I could never tie a Palomar to save my life… also I get annoyed having hooks catch on the receiving loop Luke h and Inkedup fishing 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgantm16 Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Double san diego jam on straight flouro or copoly which is all I use on swimbaits. I don't run leaders there. Outside of that Regular san diego jam on mono. Double palomar on braid. Double sandiego on flouro. FG on braid to flouro leaders and used that on anything from drop shotting smallmouth all the way to big amberjack in the atlantic, never had it fail. If it does, itll slip when you pull it tight tying it, if it doesn't fail then, no issues. Inkedup fishing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
22RangerZ520R Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Palomar 100% of the time for me. Heaviest bait with that knot that I've used is a RM Mother at 10oz. Jinxd12 and Inkedup fishing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerkbait22 Posted July 13, 2022 Report Share Posted July 13, 2022 I use palomar on pretty much everything, as long as you wet it before cinching down you shouldn’t have an issue. If you don’t wet fluoro before cinching then the friction when cinching can weaken it and cause breakage issues. I fish straight fluoro or copoly with swimbaits but with my conventional spinning setups where I do braid to leader I tie an Alberto knot.
