Did I Hear Something About A Palomar Slipping With Pp Super Slick?

Featured Replies

Is a regular palomar fine or did I hear something about a double palomar? Maybe it was another line but I want to make sure.

I can't swear to it but that rings a bell with me too. I know a lot of people don't like the palomar for braid to begin with but I get a way with it with regular PP. They make a finger ring you can wrap the tags around and use to tighten an albright knot but that doesn't seem practical here.

Don't like a Palomar with braid?...new one by me. That's all I've ever heard to use with braid. Well, I've never had one fail with any other braid so I guess I'll just go with it.

Pitzen is the best way to go with Super 8.

I have heard of knot slippage with it, but I have also heard that nanofil is WAY worse with that. A double palomar, from what I have heard, is recommended. I actually tie a little overhand knot after the palomar on all of my braid. This way, if the knot does slip, it only slips to that overhand knot. It takes some practice to get the knot to cinch down where you want it, but It really helps, especially with small diameter braids (<15lb).
