    Default Knot for braid line


    What knot do ya use for braid. And thanks guys for all the line info thats been discussed on the board. This weekend I tried 4lb flo yellow braid and did not realize how many bites I've been missing. Made me a believer on hi-viz line.

    Used Palomar for 20+ years with mono but had been told that a Palomar would slip with braid. Finally quit listening to other people and tried it, it works fine. A tv shows did a series on knot strength, they found Paolmar to be one of the best with braid. Here is the link, kinda interesting.

    Ditto,I've used polomar and improved clinch,never had a problem slipping like others stated.Take your time tying,moisten it,snug it up tight...works fine.
    I've used that 4# braid in winter,you can just feel them swimming by!

    I use a Reid knot- a guide (by the name of Reid- LOL)from Mark Twain Lake showed it to me at a boat show in Collinsville several years ago. It keeps the jig horizontal and doesn't break. I've never found it described anywhere else though.
