This video will teach you how to tie one of the strongest fishing knots for certain situations, the Palomar Knot! This knot can be used any time you need a fast and strong knot, and this video will show you the tricks to tie it the right way. We will also go over when you should NOT to use this knot! This is one of the most widely used fishing knots which is easy/fast to tie and can be used to catch anything from trout, perch, bass, pike, salmon, red snapper, tuna, trigger fish, mackerel... basically anything you catch with a hook can be caught using this knot! This knot is similar in strength and simplicity to the uni knot, trilene knot, improved clinch knot, loop knot, albright knot, fg knot, and others! Subscribe for more knots and tips, and thanks for watching!
Quick disclaimer: This is but one of many methods to successfully tie this knot, and it happens to be the best one I have found! I hope it works equally well for you, but if it doesn't, or if you have found something else that works better, I encourage you to stick to what works for you! I would always recommend practicing the knots and testing their strength yourself to ensure you are comfortable with how they work, and to avoid flinging lures into the ocean on a failed knot (ask me how I know!). Knots take practice, so make sure you're comfortable with whatever you're tying prior to trusting it with your gear! If you have any questions about the knot, please post them below and I will do my best to answer them. I hope this is helpful, and tight lines!

I used subtitles this video--was it helpful or distracting? Let me know for next time! Thank you!
As someone who tends to use subtitles, i think having the subtitles at the bottom wont distract as much.
@@DirtMcSlime Thank you very much for the feedback, I appreciate it! I may try that next time. Thanks for watching!
I’m with Dirt, subtitles at the bottom.
@@Buckshot1217 Awesome... thank you for the feedback! And for watching!
@@DirtMcSlime😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is the first knot I learned to tie some 45+ years ago ( yeah, I'm old!🤫) Another useful tip when tying this knot on small eye hooks or lures is to run the main line through the eye first then double the line back through to create your doubled line, then tie like you said. It's easier than trying to get the pinched double line through the small eye of them, especially for those of us with poorer eyesight! Both ways do make a very good knot that is definitely time tested and approved!! Tight lines, my friends!!
That's a great tip! Thank you for the advice, and for watching!
My grandpa taught me this knot 40 years ago and I still use it
No need to pinch line to get through hook eye with a tight fit. Just run the single line through, turn around and go through again.
A good point! In situations where the line is difficult to pinch, your method is definitely the way to go (or if you just prefer running it through twice)! Thanks for watching and commenting, I appreciate it🤙
Exactly.
By far the best knot
Palomar for the sharp end and triple surgeons for the leader to braid for me. I like the strong and simple knots, especially in the kayak.
Yea that was great new approach to do the FG knot ....will be using it for now on...thanks 👍
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🤙 thanks for watching!
I love this knot. I've used it with anything from a fishing hook to the hook at the end of a chalk box. Licking the sting helps sench it down but it is not at all necessary. Especially if you use it to tie the hook on the end of a chalk box. Chalk doesn't taste good and you will get a (typically) red colored line across your face.
Will use your Method ,Thank you
Awesome! Good luck 🤞 and let me know how it goes!
Use this and love it !
Great, thank you!
Great video thanks 😊
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks great explanation
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
You have the best tutorials man thank you 🔥👌
Thanks man!! 🙏🤙
OK thanks video 🎉🎉🎉
Amazing
Thank you for watching! 🤙
Thanks
I like how quickly you can tie this one compared to the classic clinch knot, at least that's how it is for me.
I used this knot to catch my 1st King Salmon in Alaska, 30 pounder, I fought it for 15 minutes, my arms jello as I shored the nice King. Great "go to" knot.
🤙 love to see it! Glad it has worked so well for you, and thanks for watching!
I'm still using it today, to catch those kings, down here off vancouver island.
@@zzz7zzz9 Heck yeah man!!
I tie palomar with biggest treble baits. I yoyo that biatch through. I usually sack a foot of line between baits anyways in case of lime stretch near previous knot
I use this on everything including the bigger lures you suggest not to. I don't mind the long tag end. I am so sold on this not it's worth it to me.
Fair enough! It’s a great knot and if it works for you, nothing wrong with using it in every opportunity possible! Thanks for watching!
👍👍👍👍
🤙
I use this not all the time it's so easy and very strong 🎣yippity yibbida folk's...
Every time I have used this knot, I threw the lure. When I reeled the line in it the knot snapped.
You can pull the tag end in before you cinch so you don't waste line
👍
🤙
The knot at 0.59 is not necessary. You can continue by simply crossing the loop over where the knot was going to be, pinching the loop there, and passing the loop over and behind the hook, before pulling it back on it self. This method doesn’t strangulate and weaken the mainline.
Doubled over section is a half hitch.
When you ran the loop around the back of the hook you went opposite to the 'natural' direction of the overhand knot. Ie the line folded back on itself . If you had gone from front of hook (with how that overhand knot is oriented) the loop would have followed the natural' durection of the overhand knot... watch the video closely... if this makes sense.. difficult to explain
I’ll look at it and see what you mean! In the end, I don’t think the direction of the overhand knot makes a significant difference in the overall strength of the knot, but I appreciate your keen eye for detail! Thank you for pointing that out!
I agree.
The best knot when using fluoro leader for fly fishing - it doesn’t break!
It’s a great knot for sure! Thank you for watching! 🤙
Good
Thank you!
The saving grace for not really using it with large hard bait lures like crank baits is that, unless you're using the split ring that came with the lure, you most likely want a loop knot for that presentation, anyway.
I was fishing today and I got cut off by a either a big bass, Muskie, or Pike.
Those pike and muskie will do it... I've seen them cut line so cleanly that I wouldn't have believed it if it didn't happen right in front of me! In fact, on the day we filmed the "Crystal clear pike water" video (ruclips.net/video/lCYlrdaCEdI/видео.html), I had it happen multiple times!
1:40 hauk tua😅
Easiest knot
It is incredibly easy! Thank you for watching!
Why is the uni stronger? Palomar has two turns around eye.
I'm not sure which aspect of the knot makes it stronger, but multiple tests seem to indicate it is the stronger knot. Either way, the palomar is still extremely strong and likely will work for anything you need it to, so if it's the knot you prefer, then I would stick with it! I hope that helps, thank you for watching!
@@JustTheLip I'm really thinking about longevity - knots that will be in service for a long time. Is the palomar considered a better knot for applications where the knot will be used for a long time?
@@vincentcoppola9832 Hmmm... that's a great question, and I'm not sure I know the answer. Usually the tests I've seen focus on the breaking strength more than the longevity. I have used both and had good success for extended periods of time, but I can't say definitively one works better for longer than the other. I'm sure the textbook answer is that it's always good practice to occasionally re-tie your knots on fresh line, regardless of what kind of knot you use. 🤷♂ Sorry that's not more definitive, but I hope it helps some...
I’ve had better luck with the uni than the Palomar with 15lb power pro super slick. Don’t know why. Pretty sure I’m trying the Palomar correctly
I did that and ran the hook through my thumb. They had to remove my thumb due to the damage.
Did you keep it as a souvenir
I disagree with the end… this knot can be used to tie anything on including spinnerbaits and even the bottom end of already tied swivels just pull tag end thru the loop.
So you're essentially tying a figure 8 through an eye and around a stand
Tag end wasted??? It's a foot of line. Things aren't that bad I'm sure. It's not wasted if you're saving time with any easy and very strong knot.
Zaq
Say again?
why don`t you sharpen your cutters
The Palomar knot is not that great, but the Double Palomar knot (2 overhands) eliminates the strength issues to be a nearly 100% knot.
Hey Ben, can you please stop lying because I thought you were doing good we actually not you’re lying
