Palomar,  Uni, Pitzen, Clinch or San Diego Jam.  I switch it up all the time so I don't forget the different ones 

P.S.  I also have an app on my phone so I can look up any knot

????I think I am the only guy in the universe who can not tie that knot, sad,I know?

We all have our trials. Mine is with the SDJ and J Knot. No problems with Uni, Alberto, Seaguar, FG or a host of others 

I had to give up tying some knots, due to the Meds I take, makes my hands shake beyond control, very frustrating.

Improved clinch 5-6 wraps. Never Had one fail

Palomar knot.

Homer circle knot 

Palomar

Shaw Grigsby knot he ties in the vedio is the double San Deigo jam knot. I have test both the standard and double SD jam knots with little to no difference in strength. I prefer the standard version using the lure to hold the loop down and swing the tag end downwards 5 turns then through the bottom loop then back up through the top loop. Very simple knot to master with a little practice.

I have noticed a difference with the double vs the san diego jam knot for fluorocarbon. Figured the differences would be minute but no idea why the holds up noticeable better in strength tests

5% isn't worth the hastle and bulk of tieing the double SD Knot, FC breaks randomly away from the knots. I have learn to never let my hook barbs touch FC line when storing on the rod, I use my old pig blankets and lure wraps religiously.

This thread is about mono line and it's not knot sensitive as FC.

Palomar knot. 

Mono, Hybrid, Braid - same knot for all terminal connections...number of winds change based on line type/test strength.
