Exactly!I use a Palomar for all my lines with the occasional flourocarbon knot that Gary Klein ties if I have time. Nothing wrong with a "properly tied" Palomar knot. Minimize the twists when tying and try to get a good, flat Palomar when finished.
My line breaks before the knot. That's all I care about. I used to tie the Trilene knot with mono, and still do on occasion, but again, the Palomar has been working. So, it aint broke (or breaking)...........
Tried tying the Rebeck knot a couple of times with braid. Tough one to tie consistently.
