Best Fishing Knot for Braid (Palomar Knot for Fishing Lures, Hooks & Swivels) | BoatUS

One of the best fishing knots you can learn to tie is the Palomar knot. BoatUS Magazine fishing editor Lenny Rudow takes you through the steps required to make this easy fishing knot that is good for tying lures, hooks, and swivels. The Palomar knot (sometimes incorrectly called the Palmer knot) offers a very strong connection, particularly for braided fishing line. It's good for both freshwater and saltwater fishing. The Palomar knot will also help you stop losing fishing hooks. (If you're using monofilament fishing line, use an Improved Clinch Knot instead--see a video here: https://youtu.be/zFUiZhmvKQU).
