"Worlds STRONGEST Fishing Knot!?!?

The Palomar Knot is widely considered the strongest fishing knot.
Though there are many tests which prove there are a few in this category, the Palomar seems to be one of the more versatile ones and most importantly, easy to tie.
I use this knot especially in cold weather where my fingers lose dexterity.
It's great for adding a dropper and works well on braid, mono and any other line!

Now battle it with the trilene knot to see which is the ultimate knot

[@brianbumgardner8704]

Been using the palomar knot for decades,never had one fail.

[@creekflow7670]

So I tied one on my frog jig but I’m not sure if I did it right bc it slips with mono line but braided it didn’t seem too

[@OutdoorswithWacky]

If I had a dollar for every time someone said a certain knot was best for fishing I’d be retired.

[@srbontrager]

I've been using this knot for hooks and lures for as long as I can remember. Simple yet effective. No need to over complicate it with some fancy knots.

[@tomr2007]

My electrical extension cord does this by itself.

[@anusxr]

Already wet it..but got thirsty

[@TheBearEssentials]

Lol! this gave me a good chuckle

[@ArnCital]

This is a great knot for people with arthritis in their hands and poor vision like I have. Thank you for making the video. I can do it by touch....

[@DOwhutnow]

My dad taught me this knot fishing when i was growing up. It's key to make sure the loop ends up on top of the knot. It doesn't always like to sit up when you tighten

[@michaelrigdon8543]

It’s the only knot I tie for fishing and it’s simple. You’ll break off and have to retie, with this knot you’ll be back fishing very fast.

[@SykotikShadow]

I love learning about tying knots.

[@TheBearEssentials]

Me too!

[@ouioui8593]

I was practising this for a while from this video. And went fishing, and didn't want to look stupid so got there and made it look easy. Thanks.

[@mitchellchapman5374]

Been tying this knot for 30 years! 👍🏽👍🏽

[@jasonluera5058]

My favorite knot for fishing. Simple fast and super strong.

[@josephmoodie4970]

This is a great knot and one of the easier not that works flawless.

[@BlueDart1971]

It’s my favorite knot for two reasons. First I suck at tying knots and it’s easy to remember. Second is its strength. Great easy to understand video.

This type of skills should be taught in school

[@tanoktenahua1665]

The first video that appear when I searched fishing knots lol. It'll be my first time going deep sea fishing off of Newport beach. I will definitely be using this knot. Thanks for the easy to understand video.

[@lancerudy6584]

Beautiful video

[@Jalal12311]

yo tysm for helping me bc usally my dad ties it for me but now i know how to tie

[@CenPapi]

The Palomar was the first knot my pop taught me when he taught me how to fish, and it was the only knot I needed to know. I still use it now, but only on braided line; on really thin 8-10lb mono/fluoro it tends to burn the line(even soaking wet) and make it weak so i use a fisherman's knot instead.

[@happyshooting3194]

Use this knot for years, never disappointed me. My go to know for a lot of fishing ends

[@JohnSmith-ev7gz]

This is a Palomar knot and on fluorocarbon line it isn’t good for heavier lures. The line will eventually cut through itself; after multiple casts the line will snap and the lure will continue on…or when a really big fish tugs on it after some fatigue it will snap. Excellent on braided line and mono isn’t as problematic but it will fatigue like the Fluoro line after awhile. Anyways, for Fluorocarbon a jam knot or clinch knot is best like a double pitzen knot or San Diego jam knot.

[@nickybeingnicky]

I appreciate anyone who can talk trash on someone's misuse of a knot.

[@justinburgan4184]

That's why fluro isn't that great. Just use mono for leaders and you can save some money and have a better knot.

[@timlong1462]

I came to the comments to leave this, should've known it was already here. I really like this for braid, but that's it. Too many tight bends for anything else. Fluoro I use the Uni and it's awesome. Single uni is good for 30+ lb anything under that I do the double uni. Double seems to keep it from cutting into itself. Mono I just do a single uni doesn't seem to be nearly as finicky.

[@CarsonHornbuckle-mt3nz]

I’ve never had this problem occur to me though I have never used large Swimbaits

[@JohnSmith-ev7gz]

@@CarsonHornbuckle-mt3nz yea I didn’t have issues until I was throwing 1/2oz and up lures with palomar knots - only on fluorocarbon line. After around 1-3 hours or so if casting the knot/line would just snap and bye bye lure. Also after a day of catching bigger fish with smaller lures (cats and 3-4lb bass) the Fluorocarbon line would end up snapping while bringing a fish in. Took awhile and some internet searching to find several pros mentioning this issue and their recommendation to switch to clinch/jam knots. Since I switched the problem has gone away. Still my go to knot for braid.

[@voodoo273]

This is the only knot i have used since i was like 10. Still the best in my book. Inshore,off shore, bluegill bass or shark. This is my knot.

[@debraheyneker3545]

Matthew 4:19❤ Very informative with clear instructions! Thanks😊

[@davidtrammell8899]

This knot works great for tying fishing line... I'm 57 and I've been tying it since I was a kid... Back in the 70's, Eagle Claw fishing hooks use to have the directions for tying it printed on their packages...

[@amymarchiondo1499]

Thanks

[@middleclassic]

That has been my goto fishing knot my entire 60 years. Except I don’t pass it through initially a single strand then back again. Just double it up and push it through the eyelet. Takes out one unnecessary step.

[@moonshinershonor202]

Big brain energy as the kids say.

[@x-tremevidpro]

Great simple knot!😮

[@sandrahildebrand4283]

If you are in grass/algae areas the tag line facing forward will catch and tear the grass. I use a DOA loop knot, which is a weaker knot (has never failed for me) but the tag end faces the bait, which is great.

[@Themonetvilleboys]

Best fishing knot ever!

[@BigYota]

Facts! I use this knot on all my fishing hooks it has never failed. The line will break before the knot every time. I recommend using this knot

I always used this with a Texas rig when bass fishing

So simple thanks!!

[@WilliamBryanTucker]

I first saw the instructions on tying this knot on the back of Rooster Tail spinners when I was a kid...probably at least 45 years ago. :-) Worked really good on monofilament line with those spinners on an ultralight rig.

[@ajalvarez1387]

I actually do that with my kites specially when I’m Kiteboarding!🤪👍

[@jasoningram2006]

The Palomar knot is my favorite knot I've never seen a tide like that interestingly enough I always just made a double line with the triple loop technique and then use the Palomar at the end I like the way that he did that believe it or not that's actually slick The Palomar in the Bimini knot are the only two 100% untiable knots. When he said it's considered to be one of the strongest knots I immediately thought that it was the Palomar until I saw him tying it and I said no that can't be right and then after the second loop he made I immediately knew that I was actually right it was the Palomar

[@CD38325]

Paloma’s knot. That’s my fave for catfish rigs but I snell the hook

[@SierraFarted]

I was going to send this to my boyfriend because he loves fishing, but this is the knot he uses every time already 😅

[@travelreview5962]

Ive been fishing 30 years and tried every knott and this is the gods honest truth.... the strongest knot is the one you take your time on, tie neat and cleanly, and the one you lubricate and the one you feel comfortable with. The top 5 knots are all very strong it's about quality

[@taringaturi6950]

Palomar and the FG knots are King! Followed by double uni and bimini knots. In my opinion.

[@JLYVE89]

I just always thread it through spin it about 5 times and run it back through the loop closest to the hook and pull tight.

[@The-Great-Badge]

Using the polymer knot for well over a decade. An older man at the pier taught it to me, increased the number of fish I caught and my line rarely ever breaks at the knot....use, and will always use it...

I learned this knot 45 years ago and is is even stronger than the line itself as tested on a tensile tester!!!

[@jessemalott1900]

Been using this for a long time !! It’s the strongest for fishing line (not to break )

[@jonathonturner7281]

I use this knot on all my fishing luers

[@xanderf8379]

Oh snap thank you!! I love fishing im just no expert😅 can’t wait to try this simple yet effective knot

[@paul0891]

The first knot I was taught was the hangman’s knot. I still use it even till this day. It doesn’t lose fish as much or breaks a line just bent hooks.

[@MT-hy6pr]

Turns out I am very interested in knots. I even used one of the knots on these videos the other day. I felt like a survivalist or an 18th century sailor.

[@Jimmy-gr6dc]

i learnt this on a spider wire box

[@SW1F7Y-11]

By far my favourite as its easy and very effective, how can you say no to this knot 😁

[@samcrdx8016]

Experimented this on surgical simulation. Solid knot but too big, gets the suture stuck in tissues. Still a cool knot nevertheless.

[@Ottbucket]

Dude licked it like we all do.

[@danareese5260]

I learned this knot when I was about 7-8, this is the first time I’ve ever heard it’s name. Only ever heard of it being the “fisherman’s knot” lol

[@fishstick617]

It works well for swivels and hooks on a drop shot rig

[@user-gr5zx1sf2l]

Polymar knot one of the first I learned

[@jadienknight763]

thank you sooo much

[@maksymandriienko4521]

This is a good knot. Buy the strongest knot is the San Diego Jam Knot. It is used for catching sharks and grouper.

[@glassmatress6343]

thank you.

[@ohsnhit2view]

Great for neck

[@Andyfishing23]

This knot is strong as hell and so easy to tie. The line I use will snap before this knot fails! It’s superb.

[@vg-zy4rb]

Seen videos of pro fisherman saying not to use this on floro because the strength comes from the knot biting it's self which weakens floro and makes it break more easily

[@ethanboyd7843]

Yeah great for terminal tackle like a swivel or hook but if you have already tied rigs to attach you gotta pull the whole thing with hook thru your loop and it's hard. I'd switch to a trilene anytime the palomar isn't the easist but it sure is my fav and fastest knot.

[@nickescobar6786]

I got the memory of a goldfish so I always end up sticking the a square knot for everything

[@luvfunstuff2]

But this one's so easy, even a goldfish could do it 😉

[@patrickhoward4080]

This is the knot I have used for 20 years. Never had a break at the hook

[@phlodel]

I always call it the pal o' mine knot.

[@thebake4856]

My dad taught me this knot when I was little fishing

[@user-vk2vz2sn7o]

excellent

[@TheBearEssentials]

Many many thanks

[@ytdeathninja1057]

I use the uni knot which is also amazing for fishing

[@subvertedworld]

I usually use the Palomar knot on lures or I'll use a loop knot so it can have free movement for better action. For tying two lines together, like putting a leader of monofilament onto your braid, use the FG knot. It's the best knot in the world for that application. Finally, it's really hard to be the improved clinch knot for tying hooks and jigs onto your line.

[@MrMikeT89]

This is the knot my stepfather passed down to me. Quickest and strongest knot IMO
