Question on 50lb Floro knot

[Tmaida17]

What kind of knot doea everyone use for heavy Florocarbon knots?

[AriettaBob]

I use a palomar knot. It requires lots of pull to close up with 50lb. I also use chap stick to lube it before pulling tight.

Crimp. 

[SLAYERFISH]

I use a clinch knot. It works fine I use pliers to get it tight.

[SALMONEMIA]

what are you tying it too?

[StCroice]

I use 60lb fluoro on my open water trolling leaders for musky and tie them to the swivel with a palomar and have never had an issue.  Just moisten the knot and cinch it down tight, use pliers to tighten the tag end.  I don't recommend crimping anything under 100.

I used the Seaguar knot on 80# fluorocarbon leader and it works for the swivel or hook.  I did had to use a plier to help out with the knot tying.  The line joined knot is what is called the FG knot or similar to that since I have Braid line connected.

[Tmaida17]

I was trying it to both the hook and the barrel swivel. I read on seagars site about the clinch knot and been doing that but was curious what everyone else uses. I've been having to hold the hook with pliers and pull on the Floro to tighten it lubing the line.

I use a uni knot, or on certain single hooks, I like the looks of a snell knot.

Clinch knot. Lubricate it and pull HARD to get it to stack up correctly. I then touch the tag end with a hot piece of metal to get it to mushroom out a little bit so it can never come undone.

Crimp...cup to cup with a double barrel crimp made out of copper and boom!
