Knots ?

I use the Trilene knot with mono and floro with no problems at all.
On a recent threat people were saying to use the Snell knot on flipping hooks, for better hook ups.
How does a paticuler knot work better than another knot?

I know there are many knots and some are easier to tie than others. I heard a long time ago that the Palomar knot was the strongest know so I started using it and still do on all applications with all differant lines with no trouble. Some argue there's a stronger knot or that it slips on braid but it works great for me http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

I use the Palomar knot on almost everything with no trouble!!

I only use the Palomar knot on braid.

The Palomer knot is the only knot I use now......for all applications. Never had it break at the knot yet....... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/thumbsup2.gif

plus it's super easy to tie.......

I've looked at the hundreds of knots that can be used, guess I'm just too much of a simpleton, been using the palomar forever and will keep on using it.

I tie several different knots, but as you read about the snell knot, it increases hookups when punching and because the way the knot is tied to the shank of the hook and the main line runs through the eye. When you set the hook, the line actually tighten and causes the hook to turn sideways which basically makes it practically impossible to come through the fishes mouth with catching.

I use a palomar for most applications, a snell knot anytime I have a straight shank hook (either flipping of texas rig worms) and double uni type knot for heavy lines (a-rig, 20+lb fluoro)

Hope this helps

Thanks, thats what I was wondering. I missed a lot of bass last year durning the spawn. I got me changing my whole set up I went from braid to 20# floro, and from EWG gamys to straight shank hooks, and lighter weights. I now have a stick with braid and one with floro.
I go out and try the Snell this week and see what happens.
