Just picked up some braided line and fluorocarbon leader line (all 50lb.). What are your knot choices for the following? Not necessarily looking for the best, but rather the simplest decent knots.
1. Fluorocarbon to hook eye. 2. The Fluorocarbon loop end for the snap. 3. Braided line to swivel. Thanks |

I never used a leader.
Polymer knot straight to the hook |

For 1: the palomar all day long
Double uni for braid to floro. I don't use a swivel from braid to floro Uni for braid to hook |

For braid to swivels - palomar
Leader to swivel - uni or improved clinch For braid to leader - FG or Albright. Typically Albright for 15lb and under. FG is easier with heavier test. Leader to hook - depends. Sometimes i snell, sometimes palomar, sometime improved clinch, sometime dropper loop (because its on a dropper loop) Double uni or similar knot braid to leader/mono/flouro....youre doing yourself a disservice by causing a failure point at the knot. The braid will cut itself at the know under its advertised rating easily if theres a strain. |

I use a palomar for 90% of my knots. As far as terminal or baits to line. I will use a loop knot on some topwaters or jerkbaits.
Braid to fluoro gets a fg. For bass, i typically run 20lb braid (hi vis yellow/green) to a 8 or 10lb fluoro leader. |

Tagged for interest. I just started back up fishing and am learning knots. So far it’s been improved clinch for fluorocarbon to hook and FG for fluorocarbon to braid. I’ve also tried the clinch for fluorocarbon to hook, but it kept coming out. The double uni is much easier to tie than the FG, but supposed it’s not nearly as strong as the FG.

I've been leadering a bunch of hooks lately and some sinkers as well. Using the Polamar knot.
It's been a slow work week

Anyone have a good FG knot demo that shows how to get the knot spacing right, so the braid digs into the mono? My FGs always end up all bunched up.

Salt stong has a good video.  EASIEST Way to Tie the FG Knot (Strongest Braid to Leader Fishing Knot) Its a bit more difficult on lighter line....say under 20lb. Doable... But for light line I just do an Albright. |
