This is the knot my friends and I have been using for 10 years and the one my grandpa used for way more than that. Tried and true.
Thanks for watching!

i think the palomar is easier to tie and its a crap load stronger than that... the "clinch knot" if i remember correctly

[ringo999999]

@bassnsnookfishin my bad, I did not specify that I am talking light tackle knots, and I'm sure palomar is good for that too, but I have no issues or difficulties with this so for light stuff never needed another knot so no need switching

[mrhenk007]

does it matter if you cut the extra end not too short?

[ringo999999]

@mrhenk007 well I was always taught that the shorter the extra end is, the less chance there is to spook the fish. The idea being that the fish doesn't realize what its biting.

[mrhenk007]

@ringo999999 how much would you recommend to leave on?

And thanks for the reaction!

[ringo999999]

@mrhenk007 I try to minimize the length I leave extra, without cutting it so short that it could fail, so maybe just a little tiny end poking out a few mm

@mrhenk007 haha

[mrhenk007]

@Astijus8 Well, I'm not ashamed of it, because we're gay together!

[Astijus8]

@mrhenk007 you are gay

free end of line u have to keep on the hook side and just pull main line to tight knot and is done..much easier i use that knot on carp fishing and i never have problem with broken knot or line..for me is best knot and is just simple

[siricefish]

looks like you got three hands



[e303gt]

good knot but the modified clinch not is better it just has one more step but either the clinch knot or the modified clinch not is the best for mono or fluorocarbon line the palomar knot is the best for braided line

[hcdub]

You gotta remember to wet the line with that lick licky
