    Default Tieing a jig to line


    Just wondering what kind of knot you all use when tieing a jig to your line?

    I've started using the Orvis or Becker knot:

    It's easy to tie and very strong. Several knot "gurus" swear by it.

    I either use the palomar or if I want 2 jigs on 1 line I'll use the surgeon's loop. Both are very strong.

    I'm old and stuck in my ways. I've been fishing a Palomar knot for about 50 years and it is still a great strong knot and easy to tie.

    Default knot

    Palomar knot. If your eyes or fingers don't work like they used to (me) run it through single & back through single. Makes tying a lot easier.

    Palomar, Sergon's Loop or the Uni-knot. I use all 3 at different times.

    Agreed - best all around knot. Best knot strength and break weight. I've been using it for over 20 yrs. I used the fishermans/berkley/rapala knot before but the palomar is better and easier to tie.

    Just remember to spit lube your knot before tightening. Cinching a dry knot can create enough heat to weaken your line.
