Your Questions About Fishing Knots

Daniel Ambrose answers:

Depending on which brand braided line you use, improved clinch and clinch knot could slip. With certain lines, even snell knot and uni knot could slip.

Palomar knot is easy to tie and it will work well with braided lines. Again, with certain lines, you want to use a double palomar knot just to be safe.

Braid knot was designed especially for braided lines.

Uni knot is safe with all braided lines ONLY if you are connecting braid lines to mono or copolymer lines.

All three knots described above are safe with all braided lines. Here’s a link of illustrated instruction for all knots described above: http://www.sportsmanschoice.com/terminal_tackle_knots.htm

PS: Fireline is among one of those “certain lines”.
PPS: You could use most knots on Power Pro.

The one that I always use is the ‘Clinch knot’ – I’ve never had it come undone. It may look time consuming at first, but the wrap arounds are done easily enough by gripping one end, and rolling your fingers on your swivel.
