What is the best knot

[cougarcreek]

I just put 10/4 fireline on my reels and wonder what is the best knot to attach swivels etc. to this type of line.

Being a Power Pro fan (another superbraid) I exclusively use Polamer knots to connect to tackle. Great knot, and as a bonus, one if the easiest to tie. Even found a link for ya.

Polamar knot is good, I like the uni-knot better since experimenting. Still easy to tie and seems to be stronger.

Agreed that the uni is good as well. I would maybe lean towards that fir the thinner lines. The Polamer knot seems so cinch better on thicker sccchhhtuf, especially tip-up braid etc.

X2. I haven't had a polamer knot slip free or prematurely break yet since last year when I started using them.

loopclinch and a improved clinch knot

I realize you guys are talking fishing but I have a great knot. It is actually the mother of all knots. Works for fishin' huntin' sailin' ropin' etc. It is called the hooaarr knot. You start by taking your line, rope, cable, twine, chain, or what ever and do a simple overhand knot. You then apply another overhand knot. It does not have to be square. As a matter of fact a granny knot is sufficient. You then apply several half hitches on top of or beside the two overhand knots. Then when the knot appears big enough repeat the process over again. I hope this helps you guys out. Thanks for your time.

This one's been beat to death several times before, but that's okay :)

I like the palomar knot. Holds braids great and it's almost painfully easy to tie.

[303carbine]

The Palomar and the double clinch knot have always worked well for me.
For heavy lures, I like the the Palomar.

palomar is proven to be the best knot...have a study that was done by berkeley and parlomar beat out everything with relative ease

[Xiph0id]

Ditto Palomar.
Easy as **** to tie once you know it.
Never had one break or slip.
Buy a knot book at the fishing store for 5 bucks it's good to know other knots and you van experiment with others if you prefer.
