I've tried various knots over the years, but always go back to double Palomar. The double P starts out the exact same way as this knot, but you make an overhand knot then slip the bait thru before tightening. I like easy, so I many give this one a try. I am wondering to make it slip-proof if you could use the loose ends to add a double clinch knot on top of it?
@dtffishingmi Жыл бұрын
It wouldn’t be possible to finish this knot with a double clinch, because it would be too tight to cinch down. You can finish any knot with half hitches or a Rizzuto finish technically, but it shouldn’t be necessary with this knot

@@andersriksson100 I had a total brain fart regarding the Trilene knot. With the knots that pass through the eye in the same direction (like the Trilene and the Fish’N Fool knot, my theory is that there is an unequal amount of force being applied to the lines passing through the eye. With knots that pass through the eye in opposite direction (double San Diego Jam, Double Pitzen, Berkley Braid, Double Uni, Double Clinch, etc) the force is evenly distributed in the eye. When tying the Trilene knot and Fish’N Fool knots, I’ve noticed that one of the two wraps around the eyelet falls to the side quite easily and is entirely reliant on the wraps above it to hold it in place.
@theredstormer8078 Жыл бұрын
It seems that only one of the two loops around the ring are actually under tension. The other could be tensioned by the second strand that sticks off to the side. I'm not sure if I'm doing it wrong or if that's just how this knot is, but if that's right it's kinda weird. Regardless, it works pretty well as a slipknot.
@dtffishingmi Жыл бұрын
It sounds like it’s not being cinched properly- since both lines running through the eye ultimately end in a tag loop, you might only be cinching with one side of the loop as opposed to the entire loop. This knot essentially has two cinches, you must first cinch the knot up (after the wraps and feeding the tag loop through the top-most loop), and then cinch the knot down to the eye. Your first cinch is likely where the imbalance is occurring- it needs to be tight around the loop tag end before cinching down. Hope this helps!
@anthonyarkadia9760 Жыл бұрын
It's actually a cinch knot, that is what makes it so strong, the more tension on the main line, the tighter the knot gets. Also the lines do not dig into one another, ever! My dad showed me this knot 30 years ago.. I have never used any other knot.. I can honestly say that I have never lost a lure, or a hook using it..! I always tie a double uni knot to braid with 12 feet of flourocarbon, them the Pitzen.. What I love the most is that it can be used with any line you do desire..

I personally wouldn’t use a Palomar for fluorocarbon or mono as it does not utilize the ability of those line types to create strength by biting into itself, and because there are many knots for those line types that have tested much stronger. However, my number one piece of knot advice is if you have a knot that never fails you, it’s probably working just fine for your purposes 👌

The Palomar loses 50% of it's strength on flourocarbon if it's not tied perfectly and also has tendency to burn your line. Several pro anglers have told me the same. It's ok for braid, but most anglers use the double pitzen or a variation of it. But you know what is also said. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Lol.

It’s better for mono and fluoro because those tend to be less slick, and this knot benefits from line that tends to resist slipping. I suggest trying the double uni knot for direct connection with braid. In all this knot research, I’ve observed that knots with downward wraps work better with mono/fluoro, and knots with upward wraps work best for braid (like the double uni knot). I’m getting real nerdy with this stuff at this point 🤓

@dtffishingmi Жыл бұрын
I’m sure it can be done with less line waste, but if your loop is too short, the line stiffness may prevent you from performing the wraps using the gravity tension method. You could certainly just make the wraps the same way you would for any other knot (manually with your fingers), but that removes the fun part 🙃. To your point, I only use this knot for fluorocarbon main line setups, it wastes too much line to be used with braid to fluoro leader setups, in my opinion.
