I use the Trilene knoe on line smaller than 14lb. and the Palomar on 17# and up. I once tied a Trilene knot with 30# Maxima and the knot did more slipping than I thought it should, so nothing but the Palomar for trout lures for me.

pick up a copy of the california tide tables at your local bait and tackle. it usually has a page dedicated to knots in the back.also berkely trilene spool packages have a sheet of paper with knot diagrams inside. Kmart carries a line of fishing info sheets (laminated plastic) that includes assorted knots. good luck,dbajimbo

I agree that the San Diego knot is best for hooks, swivels. But... it's all in how ya hold the hook & line. I first learned the SD in the 70's but abandoned it because it seemed complicated. JK on the Vagabond showed us how to tie it. He held the hook & loops a little differently than I was originally taught. With a little practice it is quick & easy. It's all I use now.
Most reliable line splice would be to double both lines (Bimini or Aussie braid) and uni to uni. Blood knot is more compact. Lately I've been experimenting with the Bristol knot on lighter lines. I'll get back to ya... :)

I use the improved cinch knot for line to hook and hardly ever break there. I use tap water to reduce line weakening from the friction of tightening the knot. I apply a very small amount of superglue to the knot.
I always use scent (Calico Cocktail, Procure, Smelly Jelly, etc.), so I am not worried about odor from the superglue.
NEVER use superglue on fluorocarbon line. For that matter don't use flourocarbon line unless it is 100% fluorocarbon.

In my opinion, the palomar knot is by far the strongest and most reliable of all the knots. You can see, though, that everybody has their own opinions based on their own trials and experience. So, you should probably take all these suggestions into thought and basically go out, tie a few knots and see which ones work for you. BUT..!! If I were you ( and you're probably very lucky I'm not.. Ha, Ha. ) I would probably tie an improved cinch knot for trout or panfish and a Palomar for the big bass plugs or saltwater excursions. But, that's JMO.

When fishing for bass, to quickly change from one lure to the other i have tied a loop at the end of my line, i pass this loop through the hole of the lure and then over the lure and pull tight. If i need to put on another lure i just have to pull the line back over the lure and pull the line out and put the next lure on. Is this advisable or should you always tie a knot and then when you want to change the lure, cut the lure off and tie the next lure on with a knot. Waste alot of line?

It is my all-time favourite knot which I use for all purposes in all my fishing, whether I am using braid, mono or fluorocarbon. This versatile, easy to tie and strong knot can also be tied with a double line for strength that must be experienced to be believed. I have used this knot system ever since reading about it in a 1972 copy of a "Field and Stream" Fishing Annual. For more on this and other knots with diagrams showing how to tie them, go to http://www.landbigfish.com/knots/default.cfm.
Have you guys heard of the "Alberto" (or modified Albright Knot)? This knot is not only easy to tie, but excellent for joining different diameter leaders to mono and/or leader-to-braid line connections. Braid is becoming very popular with a lot of anglers, also trophy Bassers who use braid (spectra fibre, such as Tuff Line Plus or Berkley Whiplash) with a fluorocarbon (Seaguar) or mono leader. Go to www.stripersonline.com/Pages/Articles/article_arby_albertos_knot.shtml to find out more and to see how to tie this knot step-by-step.
