Palomar knot
Tying line to a hook or swivel. One of the strongest knots there is, and it works well with braid.
Step by step
- Double about 15 cm of line into a loop and push the loop through the eye.
- Tie a loose overhand knot with the doubled line, leaving the hook hanging in the bottom of it.
- Pass the loop over the whole hook.
- Wet the knot and pull both the main line and the end to tighten it onto the eye.
- Trim the end to 2–3 mm.
Tip: Awkward with big lures with treble hooks, because the loop has to go over them. Use a uni knot there.
