Knots

[RyGuy525]

What knots do you guys use when jigging? I've tried using a loop knot and found it very weak so I always stick wtih the palmor knot.

Trylene knot is all i use and hasn't failed me

[Little Roober]

Improved clinch knot. I use it for everything.:coolgleam

[fish eater]

I use a Palomar and/or a Trilene knot for just about everything. They've both proven to be very strong knots to me.;):evil:

[brianroy6]

Loop, swoop and pull:)


I also use the Improved clinch knot, very easy to tie, and I havent had a fish untie that know on me yet. I use it on everything

palomar knot This is one of only 2 100% knots that I know, and the easiest of the two to tie. If tied right the line should break before the knot.

The first couple of times I used florocarbon line I had a terrible time with break offs. I'd found the trilene and cinch knots tended to be the wink link when using a florocarbon leader. I quit using straight floro's because of that issue. I've since been advised to use a palomar knot when tying up to floro's. I've not tried it yet but will be very soon!

Same here Burksee....went through that a couple years back....No problems with the palomar knot slipping.......still the Flourocarbon seems brittle and not to my liking for Icefishing...switched back to Trilene XT and no-problems!!

I started practicing the rapala knot. It seems really strong and allows the bait to move naturaly.

Been using the uniknot for 20 plus years. Never had one fail. The knot is versital and can be used for everything.

I use Green Fireline as my main line as it's easier to see when I using the Minn-Kota to keep the line vertical. I use a 3 - 4 foot flourocarbon leader and a Palomar knot to the jig. Works for me !
