The Palomar knot is an excellent knot for braided lines. Conventional knots tend to slip with braid. The Palomar Knot is easy to tie correctly, and consistently the strongest knot known to hold terminal tackle. Used to firmly tie on hooks, swivels, lures, whatever! Not just for braid. Use it for any type of line for a secure knot.
