Posts: 1901 Location: MN | I use either a Bucher power knot with an added knot (forget the name) about a foot above the leader so there is double line for the last foot or so; or i use a super uni knot. | ||

Posts: 612 | I use the double uni-knot, when the fluorocarbon leader doesn't have a swivel and is tied directly to the braid. | ||

Posts: 2751 Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Mdamp104 - 3/30/2016 9:49 AM How does everyone attach their line to their leaders. The are about as many opinions as there are fisherman. Mostly, I use a nail knot, using Magnum Tie-Fast Knot Tyer (saltwater version)! I also use back to back nail knots for braid to flouro direct connection. If you're worried about strength, add a drop of knot glue or super glue w/ line & knot under tension, flick your finger on the tensioned line, the excess super glue is gone. I usually do this part over a piece of cardboard. I also tie Tiger Leader material with it and up to 180 lb flouro..I have also tied nail knot's using a larger tool I made for using 0.80 weedeater line for my "drag/catch" main lines on my crayfish traps, minnow traps..to floats and weights and also for my set line's main runs to the stakes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=611JWRtkjOc I do tie a modified Palomar if no tools are available, it just takes a while to tie it, its a palomar with a clinch. Have fun! Al | ||

Posts: 55 | I use a spider hitch to create 18 - 24" of double line, then an offshore swivel knot to connect the leader. This way if one of the double lines get cut the other holds. Also you can feel the spider hitch when it hits the tip so you know when to go into your 8. | ||

Posts: 83 Location: North of Sweden! | I basically only use this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJkXuh6FyLI This knot has NEVER failed me, at all, no matter what I've put it through. Like NOTHING, have had 4oz baits slung hard and stopped dead in the air due to me messing up and overrunning several times and never had anything snap off or even look remotely fatigued. Pulled smaller trees from the bottom of rivers as well (guessing I'd be able to lift way bigger stuff but the trebles usually, luckily that is, straightens before having to do that... :D ). Weeell, now it sounds like I am just useless at handling myself at the water (kinda true I guess :D ) but as a land-tied (no boat or cash for that) poor sucker, at times I end up in difficult situations, no excuses though! I can and readily will admit that I am basically "The Jerk" (and this, if not clear due to people on here being to young to have seen it, is in reference to the movie from -79 with the same name and Steve Martin in the lead) at the water... :D there's just no two ways about it! :D And, though the knot might look difficult at first, is actually very easy to tie, the "parts" of the knot are just super-simple, just a bit time-consuming. A pro with this knot is that for me using a 6' rod and often quite long leaders I can still easily cast and reel the knot in and out of the rings. Though, I'd say it depends on what kind of leaders you are using, I basically only ever use mono and make them myself. If I use a leader of steel or titanium where I'd have loops at both ends (or have swivels in both ends) I usually go with the palomar. tight lines! /peter Edited by PikePeter 6/22/2016 1:45 AM | ||

Location: 31 | For trolling I use 50lb monofilament and the improved Clinch Knot, these knots will not work with super lines though. | ||

Posts: 395 Location: NW WI | Double Palomar. It's probably the same as the Palomar's that have been mentioned here. Just use a loop of two lines instead of one. | ||
