Triv Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I use a palomar with 25lb big game and I've bent out Owner ST41's. It's a perfect combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbassin Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 I tie this one, but double the line. I only do 4 wraps since I use a double like of 20-30 pound test. With smaller diameter lines I do more wraps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 san diego jam or improved clinch. your asking for trouble with the polamar on heavy line. its way too easy to cross the lines and your knot strenght goes down a ton. its hard to see when it happens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With smaller diameter lines I do more wraps. LOL! I tie the Improved clinch just as fast, I just spin the lure instead. Funny how everyone just has their own thing going with rods, reels, lures, line, knots etc. I wonder how many do everything the same?

JRockvoan Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 Im a beleiver in the palomar, with 25-30lb Triple Fish. Its handled everything from bass, sharks, bull reds and even damn gators. But you do waste a lot of line, If your anal like me, I retie after a few fish and have to respool more often. But every knot thats been listed is proven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Native Posted October 21, 2011 Report Share Posted October 21, 2011 I've found the Joe Bucher "Power Knot" to be an even easier knot to tie and possibly superior to the Palomar. Give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsp Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 For me it's the SD Jam knot since I've used it a lot, but the take home point is use any knot you can tie well. Doesn't matter if you learn some really trick new knot if you can't tie it correctly on the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
