This thread had a graphic up the showed that Trilene knot. We received a demand today to immediately remove the graphic, as it's copyrighted by an outfit that sells knot cards out West. The graphic in question comes up in searches, so beware not to ever post any graphic or post any information found in a search about fishing line knots here from proknot.com. The owner didn't contact us and ask for us to provide a link to his site for access to the graphic (which we would have happily done), he had his off shore attorney send us a legal communication threatening to have our website blocked if we didn't immediately remove the offending graphic. We did, and apologized.

Since the Trilene knot is a Berkley branded knot and Berkley Fishing is an OFM partner, we'll use the Berkley graphic from this time forward.

Here's some resources to use:

fark sakes. Really? I'd be more worried about the money I was wasting on lawyers if that's what they do all day...

i've been using a form of the San Diego Jam Knot for 15 years and zero failures ... i do it by first doubling the line, going through the eye twice and then finishing. someone sees me tying it, they usually give me a goofy look.

the other knot i use to connect braid to fluoro is the FG ... between the two i don't feel i need to know any other knots. palomar has it's place tying a hook for a drop-shot rig though (keeping the hook point in the right orientation).

Improved reverse clinch knot was the strongest line to lure knot for braided line

I use the San Diego Jam not as well, it's a cool knot. It snugs up very easy, little bulky with heavier braid but that's okay.

Palomar. and 100 lb test... If that one fails you have bigger problems for sure. Have yet to see a failure on this knot.
