Trilene Knot

http://www.animatedknots.com/trilene/in ... dknots.com

For years I used nothing but an improved clinch with a stopper knott on the tail.
But recently I started using a polomar and have great results with Mono and Braid.

Anyone use a loop knot?

Dog needs a loop & a chug is straight on.

I'd be willing ta bet that 90% of us tie em on in a different way or form

A polomar is a very good knot, but when using braid I suggest putting a dab of super glue on the knot. Another good knot to use especially if you are in the weeds, is a knot to where you go in line doubled like a polomar, take the loop, pull enough through to wrap from top down and loop in at eye and cinch downward, only thing pull slow with mono so you don't burn the line. You only need about four twist.

I use a bowline.

Simple and effective. May not be a 100% knot but since the leader is usually quite a bit heaver than the line it just doesn't matter.

I never use a leader for topwater. Use 17lb. and a uni-knot forming a loop to let the lure swing freely.

I use a polomar and it always does fine

On everything I use a leader and a uniknot.
UMM, did I mention I catch a lot of fish?

I see the men in white coats haven't caught up with you yet.

Only using mono, I tie everything straight to the line with a uni.

The only exception to this is if I'm targeting something especially toothy, like Spanish and blues.

Spanish and Blues,Spanish and Blues don't use a leader you're sure to lose.
2nd verse same as the 1st.

I do believe Birddog is right. JT has lost it.

Obviously you people don't see the world the same way I do.
