I love the trilene knot..I hardly waste any line on the tag end and its so easy to tie and cinch down

Double palomar, berkely braid knot. Im just starting to use the snell knot for straight hooks ... havent really had a chance to test it yet.

Alberto for line to line.

Kind of a trick question, or at least a trick answer.  I only use palomar for tying on lures.  I don't know why anyone uses anything else.  I watched some of the videos by Glenn ( I think?) and he demonstrates different knots and said he uses some form of clinch.  He does not say why. 

 

The palomar is easy to tie and as far as I know it is the strongest.  you have 2 lines going through the eye of the lure. 

 

I use it for Spinnerbaits and everything.

 

And I also use it with braid. 

I use the San Diego Jam Knot.  It doesn't matter if its mono, braid, or fluoro and have yet to have a knot fail.

X2 on the San Diego Jam. I dumped the palomar after I learned the SDJ I found it much easier to tie.

Uni for everything, only knot you need to know and you can tie any kind of line and leaders.

On Knot Wars head to head a, through the eye twice UNI knot, beat the Palomar knot.

In my use this uni knot is stronger than a double palomar with my 6# Nanofil. Uni breaks a touch over 9 pounds and the dbl pal breaks at 6 1/2 pounds.

_{albright or alberto for joining mainline to leaders and palomar to baits. never fished with straight braid before...}

I only use one knot for all lines to baits... THE PITZEN.

i believe its called a san diego double jam 100% holding strength, beat the palomar knot. I use it for everything basically. Here you have ole Shaw Grigsby tieing it.

I prefer the Double Palomar for braided line.

Uni, Palomar, Snell all work for terminal connections. Line to line, Alberto, Uni to Uni, Triple Surgeon's work well.

X2 on all these except the triple surgeon.

I don't clip the PE tag end close to the knot... no need too.  Leave 3/8 inch to accommodate any line slip within the knot.  

 

I'm OK with a terminal knot that will break at 95% instead of 100% of line strength.  I'll leave less behind when I need to break off.

Palomar

palomar. the only knot i will use.

San Diego Jam knot will work on mono, flouro, and braid.

Just alter the amount of wraps for the line

ie maybe about 3 for heavy flouro/mono, maybe 4-5 for a lighter mono/flouro, maybe 8 for braid
