I use a Trilene knot, but I'm not sure it the right knot.

I still use a Palomar

Palomar - but I've just about given up on florocarbon - almost exclusively braid (plus CXX leader) now.

I use the 16/20 for everything, (mono, fluro, braid) with lots of spit.

It is fast and easy. I hold the loop and let the bait swing around the tag end. I can tie it with gloves on in less than 10 seconds, except with big baits and lots of treble hooks.

RHF what kind of leader knot are you tying? Pic’s?

RHF · « **Reply #8 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:17:17 AM »

Surgeons, except I go through 4 X, rather than 2x as shown in the illustration. key point is to have the two lines integrate as you tighten.

I'll try that. Thanks

I typically use a polymer or trilene knot.

RHF · « **Reply #11 on:** March 26, 2009, 08:14:24 AM »

There are several (see http://www.bassfishingusa.com/Rigging/knots.html) - I tie one on one end of the co-polymer and another on the other end and then tie two swivels to the braid. Put one swivel in a vice and the the other a vice grip and pull (I do this about 5 times to make sure the pattern is consistent)- the one that doesn't break is the one you want. For me, the 4X surgeon is the best although Knot Wars (http://www.fishingclub.com/ExtraContent/ExtraContentDetail.aspx?id=132344) found the uni-to-uni to be the best.

Is this a Sandiego Jam knot by another name...or something different?

I forgot to add, any knot you use you will need to moisten the knot before cinching down. Otherwise it will probably break.
