Eye crosser is my latest go-to knot. Similar to palomar in strength and size. Easier to tie in my opinion, especially when I am attaching a rig that I prepared beforehand
was just lookin at some of the knots near the start of this thread lol..
i didnt go tro the whole 4 pages so dont know if any one pointed out burning the line with a is not good imho,better light a cocktail stick and blow it out and burn line with the ember, but hay what do i know
I can't believe how long it took me to start paying attention to the KNOTS...not just the gear.
I find that the Palomar is one of the best, or pretty much any other knot similar, in which you have TWO or more passes through the hook/lure/terminal tackle.That double contact will get you a lot more landed fish, coupled with braid, just can't be beat.
