lol went fishing yesterday and got to use the info J francho posted about the correct way to tie the palomar and it worked just fine haha NO CRIMPS.

truth^

hahahahahahahahaa it's fine, i learned from my mistake thanks to you.

wow thats why my mainline above the knot gets crimped a little^ i'm going to clinch my nots from the tag end from now on haha

oh okay i get that^ sound like it has less give when pushed to the max

bomber fat A and long A arbogast jitterbug & hula popper 5' senkos and anything else you like haha

will do

i use the improoved clinch and just recently started using the palomar and they both seem to be fine knots. I'm still in the process of looking at that thread btw. i want to learn the blood knot, seems hard. every time i try i do something wrong.

i use both the improoved clinch and palomar but i want to know what's best.

then whats better? lol

wow haha so im guessing knots are better than slips... i'd rather have a knot fight til the end than have a slip get weaker and weaker throughout the fight.

so with slips the line can be weakened by the pressure of the slip crimping the line and with knots the more they're pulled the tighter they get until they break? (with mono)

isn't that the knot used to spool up a spin reel? I wouldn't trust that one.

so im assuming slips are better for mono and knots are better for braid?

makes perfect sence! now i know to never use the improoved clinch on braid. lol

why's that?

is this true? and why?

i asked because these are the only two knots i can do so far. Just been practicing new knots and trying to lock em down so i can use them.

whats better/do you use most?

i live near a big outlet store that sells a bunch of old/discontinued fishing lures and products. i get those worms for a buck a pack! i should head back out there soon to stock up... shoot winter or not.

As far as finesse worms go these are the best I've ever had. realistic, soft, and they FLOAT...

wow haha so much good info

yea i get that, its true. i dont want to buy something i'll be replacing fast or neglecting.

thats a nice way to challenge yourself tho

word, i cant wait to get better at predicting the mood of the fish. also finding the fish without a fish finder can be hard at times.
