    I've used a regular old cinch or surgeons know since I was a kid and it works great. Just remember to spit on the know before you pull it down or you will burn the line and weaken it.

    I use the polymar a lot except with flourocarbon and the improved clinch knot.

    This link will take you to a post with a link to a Unit-Knot, but that page has all kind of knots and is animated. Really good site for knots.

    I always used the trelene know for light line and the palomar for heavy line. But keep thinking about trying a loop type knot for crappie jigs ti see about more movment.

    Default Uni-Knot

    After many years of tieing all kinds of knots, I settled on the uni-knot with the polymar coming in a close second. The uni-knot will work with all size lines and stiffness and can be tied in the dark after a little practice.

    I have much better luck with palomar than a cinch knot. Maybe I just can't tie a cinch knot very well. I find the palomar quicker and easier anyway.

    I've always used the Trilene knot for light line. Never had a problem with it.
