If your mainline is crimped, retie.  You failed.  I know that sounds mean, but it's the absolute truth.

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

I love the palomar knot for most but there are applications where it just doesn't work as well as others. I hardly ever use a clinch just because of what J.Franco said above about pulling on the line instead of the tag end.  I recently started using a loop knot for some crankbaits and swimbaits. I like that one in certain situations. Getting on the lake and fishing will help you resolve which knots are better for you.

I hope all your fishing days are joyful and blessed. Some guys think fishing is about catching fish.

Mainline to leader: Double Uni

Mono/Fluoro to lure: Palomar

Braid to lure: Double Palomar

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.
