If you can't tie a knot, tie a lot!!!!<br />I ditto the Palomar. I use it for everything and it's never slipped. Even on the braided lines. Just need to make it set correctly with the braids. Pull it snug and it should be good to go.

Re: Anyone have a good knot tieing technique?

i know its a late posting, but thought i'd put in my 2c also :) we had this topic a yr or so ago, and i use the same knot as JB, although i didn't know the name at the time.<br /><br />i use the palomar for dropshots.<br /><br />but i picked up on the uniknot from night fishing the swamps, where retying is as constant as the skeeter bites. its very fast and can be done in the dark, by feel.<br /><br />i just wanted to add that when dealing with line that i feel might slip (braided), i add another little 'stop' knot before tightening the main knot. it is easy to have it right up beside the main uniknot then. just a thought, in case you want to try out the uniknot. :D

heels and hose AND can tie a knot? I bet yer ok with live bait, lol, the One Woman Squealing Brigade is gonna HATE when I tell her theres a girly girl on the computer that can be a GIRL and still fish, lol, she always tells me girls dont do live bait or touch the fish ... of course, those are the girls that scrub the boat down REAL good after a days fishing, Id much rather clean the fish, lol<br /><br />Ummm, what sorta boat does hubby have ladyfish?<br /><br /> :rolleyes: (thats as close to an innocent look as I can get in the Graemlins!)<br /><br /> :cool:

lemme see if this explains the palomar ... a regular overhand knot with an extra wrap around the thumb ... if that isnt the palomar, use it anyway, its easy and 130% strong, lol<br /><br />but I think it is! : o)~
