[Fish_N_Fool]

If any of you watched Knot Wars on the N. American fishing club they rated the palomar as the best knot for all lines and I totally disagree. For one I find it the hardest to tie of all the majorly used knots and it is ez to get a bad know as it will burn the line and it you get the lines crossed in it, it will break at about half the line strength. The two knots I use the Most is The Trilene knot and one I came up with on my own that I call the Fish-N-Fool Knot It is like a uni knot but you go through the hook eye twice and wrap the line back through the loop at least 4 to 5 times. I was at a fishing show over the weekend they had a knot tester there. So I tied up my Fish-N-Fool knot and put it head to head against the guys palomar that was running the booth and mine won 3 out of 3 times, We used mono, braid, and a floro. All three times my knot did not fail . Where the palomar failed twice and the line broke in the middle once. That was with the mono. Here is a diagram of my knot





When tighting up this knot you MUST pull the tag end first and tighten the knot up on the line. Then slide the knot down to the hook.

So whats your favorite knot? Try Tieing this one to one end and your favorite knot to the other end and pull, see for yourself which ones better.
