I am playing around with Ultra light fishing for bream, namely 2# line. What is the best knot for this light of line? When I break off, it is always at the knot. I wet my line and do all the right stuff but to know avail. I know the knot is the weakest point but they are breaking off to easy. At 72 years old, I can not see as well but need a good easy knot, I use Colored line, gold, green or brown. In Mono or Copolymer.
Many thanks in Advance- Trypman1
I use the Orvis (Becker) knot. I don't think I've ever had it break.

Man, thank you, took some practice but I got it. That is a miracle knot, Again, I appreciate you. Happy Fishing

If you can tie a Granny knot, you can tie a Palomar. Rated as the strongest mono knot there is and also great for braid (which lots of knots aren't).

I use the Palomar - easy to tie.
Thanks for the great help folks!!
I've been using the Trilene knot for over 40 years. No problems, no worries.
Same for me. It works very well with small diameter monofilament.Quote:

For a 'fast' know I usually use the palomar. For loops, I use any one of about three different ties. Don't use the Huckabee tho. I make a mess of it. I've never had an issue with loop knots over fast knots as far as strength of knot. I mostly throw 2 or 4 lb test Vicious,or 4 lb Mr Crappie.
