Jace D Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Palomar on everything. Guess how many fish I’ve lost due to knot failure. I’ll give you a hint...it’s less than one. LOL! I use fluoro for everything except for top water and contrary to popular myth, fluorocarbon does not cut into itself with a palomar knot (or any other knot for that matter). In order for something to cut into something else, it must be more dense than the object it’s cutting into. How does fluoro cut into itself? Not possible. Palomar knot FTW.

bigpoppabass Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 Trilene knot for non braid. Reverse uni for braid. Both knots look pretty and tight. SethMuffinson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jace D Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 1 hour ago, Jackon Gill said: Lost a wade Hogg on a Palomar yesterday sadly After a good fight it just gave up almost Was it on fluoro? I used to use mono way back in the day and lost tons of baits. It’s actually really rare now for me to lose anything unless it’s wrapped in a tree. I haven’t tried all the fluoro out there but the one that I absolutely trust over everything else is Seaguar Invisx. Abrasx is good too but I rarely buy it. I have been going cheap lately and buying the YoZuri Topknot which has actually been great as far as strength goes. But, it is noticeably softer with more stretch. Seaguar is the way to go for fluoro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Csweitzer Posted March 31, 2020 Report Share Posted March 31, 2020 Palomar for everything, and Flourocarbon (Trilene 100% or InvisX) for everything. Glides and softbaits get straight flouro and punkers get braid to flouro with a Uni to Uni. I casted off a Deps 250 with Big Game (retied 10 mins before) and won't run it anymore for anything bigger than an ounce. Jace D 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenPig Posted April 2, 2020 Report Share Posted April 2, 2020 6 turn SDJ for up to 20 lb mono, copoly, fluorocarbon any lb braid and a 5 turn SDJ for 25 lb and up mono, copoly, and fluorocarbon. Alberto for leaders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
