Braid line knots
I have a question about braid line and the knots required. I’m going to switch out the Mono line I’ve been using on my Dipsy rods for braid. Do I need another knot, I’ve always used the wrap round 6 times and back thru the loop(not sure of the name). Will this work on braid?

I use a palomar. Never had a problem. I use it for everything.

palomar knot
Palomar knot is used by bass fisherman as it gives the most pulling strength per sq inch. A very strong and easy to tie knot. Watch the video, it is easy, Mike

i think your talking about the clinch knot. i use the improved clinch knot. i wrap the line around about 8 times then go through the bottom loop then go back through the top loop then snug it all down. or you can do a google search for improved clinch knot. it all i ever use on mono, floro, or braid.

Yep your right, I did a google and in fact I've been using the improved clinch knot. My Grandfather showed me this knot 35 yrs ago, I'm sure he told me the name but I forgot.
So I guess any of the good knots will work, I was just wondering if braid needed another. Good to know a few different knots I guess.

I use the uni-knot/blood knot, never had a problem in over 30yrs.

I have had clinch knots come loose on hard hook sets before I knew how tie a Palomar on braid while bass fishing. Never had one come loose since changing to Palomar.

Skinny,
When I first entered into the planner board trolling world with braided line I tied the typical clinch knot. I quickly noticed that on larger, harder pulling fish that I was losing them due to the knot coming undone. I was advised by more experienced troller’s to tie the palomar knot with braided line and I have had little to no trouble ever since.
I highly recommend using the palomar knot with braided line… (And it’s simple to tie!)
Tight Lines!

Palomar it is! Seems everyone likes this knot and I haven’t heard any stories of coming loose. I will need to practice up some; I’ve using the improved clinch so long. Old habits die hard.
Did I ask what size I should be using? I want to pull Dipsy’s with braid to hopefully get down deeper. 20 lbs, 30lbs ? what do you guys use?
