Fishing knots

I found this link on another IS thread for the J knot and thought it would be good to share with everyone.  Just hope I can remember how to use them once I am on the ice and need to make a repair or rig up something new...

What is your go to knot? 

Mine is the Palomar Knot for the hook and Arbor Knot on the other end.

Clinch knots, but reading that was very useful had no idea Polymer was the way to go for braided line . Thanks for the link.

Thanks.  That's one of the most organized and comprehensive sites I've seen.  Just bookmarked it.

For braided/super lines I like the Nanofil knot.It is basically a double palomar. Super strong and easy to tie.

[Muskyrush]

Line to line=blood knot, line to clip=clinch knot, line to lure=loop knot

[Aschu]

I use a double surgeons loop fir tying on all my ice fishing jigs....

Palomer or fishnfool for jigs.

Blood knot for line to line

[BaitBucket]

Search Knot Wars on you tube.

Strongest line to hook was Palomar. Strongest Line to line was Advanced Albright

[greenmonster57]

My favorite is the palomar for jigs, and the advanced albright for line to line.

Line to line I use the Bimini, either loop to loop or loop to Ball bearing swivel, both are stronger than any of the knots that have been suggested... MORE THAN 100%. Most angler won't take the time to learn or tie, but if you want a knot that will not break, learn the Bimini Twist!

I have an knot app that I run on my Kindle that works pretty good. Going to load one on my smartphone soon.

Just a note about the PALOMAR knot. I learned the hard way (moisten the knot before you cinch it tight.) I did it dry and this makes it weak. Just a good tip.                          Fat Fish

[toofuss]

most all knots should be wetted as they will burn when cinched down weakening the line.

[Rebelss]

Thanks!!! I use the Trilene Knot...

[jumbo chaser]

Polymer knot for me

[grizzlyhackle]

Super interesting, not sure if anyone has ever seen "Knot Wars", but it aired on TV a while ago. Basically they test each knot's breaking strength.....

Improved Reverse Clinch knot taking on the returning champ Palomar knot:

You have to wet this knot.  I just stick it in my mouth as I tighten it.

the mates on the tuna boat i go on all swear by the palomar ….  and they put hundreds of tuna on the deck each year  …. that's good enough for mer

I used to tie the cinch knot, but now use the Palomar knot, much easier to tie with cold hands!!

I used the davy knot most of last ice season.
