Just starting out and learning knots. Really appreciate these types of videos. Still practicing to get faster with these knots, but these videos really help me figure out what I want to throw. Thanks again
I quit tying the Palomar because it was breaking on Hooksett on flouro. I still use it for mono and a double Palomar on braid. These knot tests are all over the place. Thanks for the content.
A nice knot machine. Testing different lines and knots is great to use. I have tied the Berkley knot for years and trust it for the majority of my tying knots. The Palomar is always a strong knot, but it has failed on me more often than the Berkley knot. I'm looking forward to seeing some more videos of you doing this.
Appreciate you taking the time to do these E2! Never change! Awesome to see you start sharing some of the more technical things. LOVE IT! I've broke Palomar on hooksets but still use it a lot, however the double san-diego jam has been working great!
This is one of your best videos! I have tested every knot and it becomes fun as fishing for me. A lot of knots were designed for mono and carried over to floro but doesn't perform well. Double Sand jam is the strongest, fishing fool knot also very strong.
Another great video E. Thank you. I used the palomar knot for years, now I only use it with a drop shot. I’ve gone to the jimmy Houston knot (or pitzen), it’s been great.
I’ve been a big fan of Palomar knots for years because of the strength and ease of tying. I use double uni mostly for connecting lines when respooling a reel. I would tend to believe your time on the water experience with knots more than lab type tests. Thanks again for great content.
Don’t forget the loop knot! Seems like it’s become a lot more relevant outside of walking bates lately. I am coaching a high school team in North Carolina as of this year and if there’s any other things that you guys have done and your program that have worked well, I’d be glad to hear it.

Hey, Edwin. one thing for sure, XPS Floro ties a really good knot. I never use anything smaller than 12 lb test and I've never had a failure on a straight hookset...great stuff!
I use a palomar on monofilament and double uni on flourocarbon. Just the way I've always done it. If you're in a rush and twist the loop on a palomar with flouro it can cut in to itself when cinching it down. It can still cinch on itself with the double uni, but it's generally further in the knot. That's just been my experience over the past 20 or so years.
A guide on Lake Murray showed me a double improved clinch knot. Doubled, wrap 4or 5 times, back through hole & back through itself from the wrap. And the three trims can act as a bait keeper for plastics
First let me say "we" need more videos like this. I think most people just want to know what lure you are fishing and don't focus on all the other factors that go in catching a bigun😁 I personally use polamar knot with Izor line copoly and have great results on line not breaking. Thank you for all the great information ....
Great video thank you for what you do I have been using an improved clinch knot for about 45 years most of the time Im using 10 to 14 lb. test once in a while i will break one on hookset but for the most part I have had goo0de luck with it.
Wow that actually is not how I expected it to go! I still tie the simple “fisherman’s knot” I learned as a kid off of the back if the old Walmart FLW plastic worm packages! I don’t know that I’ve ever had a noticeable issue with that knot versus other knots that I’ve tried. I don’t know how you tie that Palomar knot so fast though because I end up tying my fingers up more often than not when I try it! Now I want to see braid-to-fluoro knot tests!
I tied the Miller Knot for 50 yrs, as far as I know never had one fail. Then learned about the double pitzen, which I actually used for fly fishing. But, after watching Tyler's video, I started tying the Double Pitzen for my bass rigs as well.
Love this style of video! The whole time, I kept thinking what lb test is he using. Then you said it. I like that bass pro fluro. I've been using it when I can't my lillte cousins fishing on 6. Thanks again for another great video
The uni-knot is quick and I’ve never had any issues with it as long as you wet it before cinching it down so it doesn’t burn the line. I’ve had my line broken before but it wasn’t at the knot. Except Gar which I did catch one with this knot while bass fishing.
I use a double pitson/San Diego for hard baits like crankbaits or jerkbaits. I always like these types of videos. Knots are the unsung heros or villains during our fishing days.
This was actually one of coolest and real info. Man I really like this video, I'm curious are you using flouro. Some say trilene knot with flouro is hard but when done right is super strong, Palomar and trilene or cinch knot, I like to keep it simple, double uni I can never master idk why, great stuff Edwin Also teaching high school kids to tie knots with a fan and stuff and truly a great way of teaching, i feel like you could be the bill belichick of coaching fishing
The palomer is my go to, man show me the best way to tie braid to fluorocarbon man I break that double uni way to often to have confidence, I sure enjoy your knowledge and after the cast has been awesome
Been fishing for 3-4 months now; all I tie is the palomar knot and thank god I did cause I just caught my PB at 5.1 pounds on a 3/8ths ounce bass pro PB&J flipping jig
Fun to see your real world testing! Always great info! Have used the Trilene knot since I was a kid, tried the Palomar and like the knot, but didn't like that in some waters the tag would end even cut flush would pick up scum and algae. I do use a half hitch on top of the knot to redirect the tag when I want the compact size of the Palomar. Both knots have been great for me and easy to tie. You ever notice the Palomar snagging stuff on the knot? How do you remedy it?
I have tied Palomar knots for most of all my knots because I can tie it fast, but I was never sure if this was ever the best way to go. This video has given me the confidence to stay with the Palomar. Would you consider doing a video similar to this but with different leader knots? I tie an alberto knot, again, for speed, but I know the FG knot is regarded as superior as far as strength and usability goes. What do you think?
I pretty much exclusively tie the double San Diego jam on my floro especially on light line since Tyler’s video as well as the fisherman’s knot for braid. I am curious about the strength of different loop knots though, ya know for my crappie fishing 😅
I’ve felt like I brake more Palomar knots. So use the double uni most of the time. Pretty sure I’ve seen other videos showing it was strongest and it was Aarons favorite. Makes me wonder if it’s my technique or the knot.
Super cool idea trialing your own knots and competitions between the kids tying the same knots.. seems like the hook set maybe doesn't effect your knot... overall still breaks at same lbs whether fast or slow... Also check out Tyler video also, he compares different types of knots. Any chance you are gonna be tying different knots? Trial the connection knots, FG, Alberto, Uni to uni... really worth time and learning g the FG...
When you tie the palomer knot do you worry about the line being crossed in the eye of the bait or twisted before doing the over hand knot? It wld be neat to see if that has any effect on the strength of the knot. Great video!
I tie 3 knots to my hook/bait... a snell with braid and fluorocarbon any time I'm flipping with a staight shank hook, double pitzen knot for fluorocarbon most of the time, and a palomar for braid and occasionally on fluorocarbon when I'm in a hurry and it's not a high impact hook set. The palomar has it's faults mainly with fluorocarbon but as long as it's tied correctly it's a pretty good knot I do think the double pitzen is much better and it's an easy fast knot to tie...

Double San Diego knot on floro has been working good for me and it’s not bad to tie
Would love to see you test the San Diego jam
Just starting out and learning knots. Really appreciate these types of videos. Still practicing to get faster with these knots, but these videos really help me figure out what I want to throw. Thanks again
Thanks for the video. I use the Palomar and double pitzen knot. Your good work is not going unnoticed.
Double SDJ is my fav.
Double San Diego Jam is my go to “I can’t lose this bait” knot. I’d love to see you do that one.
I quit tying the Palomar because it was breaking on Hooksett on flouro. I still use it for mono and a double Palomar on braid. These knot tests are all over the place. Thanks for the content.
agreed! I switched to the pitzen or San Diego Jam.
I tie the Palomar Knot 90 percent of the time and have no problems. As always your videos are very informative and I enjoy watching.
I enjoy all your videos. They are very helpful and informative.
Your videos are not just content, they are stories that stay in the heart. Keep inspiring us!🔷🐤🧁
A nice knot machine. Testing different lines and knots is great to use. I have tied the Berkley knot for years and trust it for the majority of my tying knots. The Palomar is always a strong knot, but it has failed on me more often than the Berkley knot. I'm looking forward to seeing some more videos of you doing this.
Thanks for sharing this video! I am still learning to tie most of the knots.
Appreciate you taking the time to do these E2! Never change! Awesome to see you start sharing some of the more technical things. LOVE IT! I've broke Palomar on hooksets but still use it a lot, however the double san-diego jam has been working great!
I use the pitzen knot the most. On jigs & Texas rig I use a 3 tag end knot. Thanks for all your information you share.
This is great information. Thanks for conducting these line tests.
Love the new series of videos always amazing watching your videos.
This is one of your best videos! I have tested every knot and it becomes fun as fishing for me. A lot of knots were designed for mono and carried over to floro but doesn't perform well. Double Sand jam is the strongest, fishing fool knot also very strong.
Ive always wondered on witch knot was best its nice getting some real info thanks buddy great content
Best bass fisherman ever to pick up a rod. Thanks for the great video Mr. Evers
Love the time spent on knot tests, I've heard the double pitzen (also called 3 tag knot) is the strongest for attaching to a hook / lure.
Another great video E. Thank you. I used the palomar knot for years, now I only use it with a drop shot. I’ve gone to the jimmy Houston knot (or pitzen), it’s been great.
Thanks for all of the fishing tips. You’re never too old to learn new stuff thank you a lot. I know you don’t have to do it, but I appreciate it.
Good Info! I personally love the palomar knot, has never failed me. Would be cool to see some line to line knot test (braid to flouro).
I’ve been a big fan of Palomar knots for years because of the strength and ease of tying. I use double uni mostly for connecting lines when respooling a reel.
I would tend to believe your time on the water experience with knots more than lab type tests.
Thanks again for great content.
THANKS for sharing! You are a blessing my brother!
great video. I would like to see a series of videos on all the Berkley baits. Show how you rig them and when/where you fish them.
Great info Edwin, I use the Palomar the majority of the time. Glad to know I tying what looks to be one of the better knots around.
Don’t forget the loop knot!
Seems like it’s become a lot more relevant outside of walking bates lately.

Thanks for the video I’m a big fan of a uni knot but I might have to try the palomar knot now.
Hey, Edwin. one thing for sure, XPS Floro ties a really good knot. I never use anything smaller than 12 lb test and I've never had a failure on a straight hookset...great stuff!
Pops always taught me to use the Palomar, guess he was right! Good info
I would like you do a test with braid to fluro and test those knots. You're always giving us great info. Thanks.
Thank for testing all the great knots! Have learned a lot from you videos!
I use a palomar on monofilament and double uni on flourocarbon. Just the way I've always done it.

It can still cinch on itself with the double uni, but it's generally further in the knot. That's just been my experience over the past 20 or so years.
I’ve seen several knot tests and frankly the results are kind of all over the place. Thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the test I use a lot of the same knots good stuff
Thanks for the knot testing. I use the Palomar most of the time. Keep putting out good stuff and I would love to have the spool of line.
A guide on Lake Murray showed me a double improved clinch knot.
Doubled, wrap 4or 5 times, back through hole & back through itself from the wrap. And the three trims can act as a bait keeper for plastics

Fantastic tests thank you for always sharing tips and tricks! I learn so much in each video!
I have watched Tyler's knot testing videos...good info. I've always loved your videos too.

Seen some test on salt strong where they didn’t wet the knot and they were stronger. Try and improved clinch knot
Wow that actually is not how I expected it to go! I still tie the simple “fisherman’s knot” I learned as a kid off of the back if the old Walmart FLW plastic worm packages!

Very informative Edwin.I learned a lot about knots! I appreciate it. Tight lines 🎣
If you wet the line, it may be better!
I have been just BPS fluorocarbon since you told me about. We were at Tulsa Expo. Thanks for everything you do.
That was a good one. We are always in a hurry tying knots just to get back in the water. Lost minute could be a 6 pounder. Thanks buddy
Love this style of video! The whole time, I kept thinking what lb test is he using. Then you said it. I like that bass pro fluro. I've been using it when I can't my lillte cousins fishing on 6. Thanks again for another great video
I’ve tied the triline knot my whole life. I’ve recently changed to the palamar b/c I believe it’s the best knot based on time and efficiency.
Trilene knot is my go to!!!
Thanks for the great videos brother! I use a Palomar knot for almost everything LOL! Keep up the good work.
The one everyone talks about is an FG or Alberto. Would love to see those two head to head. Thanks for this test. Really cool!
Love the concept. Great video as always.
Thanks E!!
I always tie Trilene knot. 😂 really enjoy your videos.
Thanks Edwin! Super cool! Been waiting for something like this!
Thank you, fished trilene for crappie and white bass, parlomar for bass. This is diffently something to consider. Thank you for your video's.
Your videos always stand out from many others. Thank you for your talent and hard work!🦍🧢🤔
I love bass pro line you have some of the best videos!
I remember you teaching us a knot at fishing practice when I was still on the team, I forgot the name of it but you should try that one
The uni-knot is quick and I’ve never had any issues with it as long as you wet it before cinching it down so it doesn’t burn the line. I’ve had my line broken before but it wasn’t at the knot. Except Gar which I did catch one with this knot while bass fishing.

The palomer is my go to, man show me the best way to tie braid to fluorocarbon man I break that double uni way to often to have confidence, I sure enjoy your knowledge and after the cast has been awesome
Thanks for the info
Great video! Try the flouro knot or the sling knot maybe? Again great video
Palomar has been my go to for about 15 years.
Hey Ed, you should include the Double Pitzen knot in your next test.
You Always Have Great Videos And I Learn So Much Thank You 👍👍
Great information thank you very much really learned a lot
good fishing
Thanks, great video!
Double San Diego jam knot is my favorite
Been fishing for 3-4 months now; all I tie is the palomar knot and thank god I did cause I just caught my PB at 5.1 pounds on a 3/8ths ounce bass pro PB&J flipping jig
Love your videos and I’m not even LINE! 😂😂😂
Always enjoy your videos. For mono and fluoro, I use the double San Diego jam knot. Test it.
Fun to see your real world testing! Always great info!

😂😂😂 Ed that intro made my week
All great knots!
I’ve felt like I brake more Palomar knots. So use the double uni most of the time. Pretty sure I’ve seen other videos showing it was strongest and it was Aarons favorite. Makes me wonder if it’s my technique or the knot.
Try a “Jimmy Houston” knot. I always use that on jigs and creature baits. Strong knot!
Super cool idea trialing your own knots and competitions between the kids tying the same knots.. seems like the hook set maybe doesn't effect your knot... overall still breaks at same lbs whether fast or slow...
Also check out Tyler video also, he compares different types of knots. Any chance you are gonna be tying different knots? Trial the connection knots, FG, Alberto, Uni to uni... really worth time and learning g the FG...
Thanks for the 3000 yard spool of 12# line
Test the pitzen or the improved clinch knots. I find the pitzen knot is pretty easy to tie no matter the conditions.
Palomar is what I use for bass fishing seems to be the best for me
Loop knot for crappie fishing
I like that test i have some knots i would like to put to the test i need that setup
the palomer knot is my go to knot.....
Interesting test. Wonder if the drag in the water, not to mention that it could act as a coolant would make a difference? Or the spring in the rod?
When you tie the palomer knot do you worry about the line being crossed in the eye of the bait or twisted before doing the over hand knot? It wld be neat to see if that has any effect on the strength of the knot. Great video!

I would like to see a braid to flouro connection with light line. 4lb leader or less. What’s the fastest, strongest, easy on the guides 🤔
This was cool double E
When I tie braid, I like to use the Palomar....and when using fluorocarbon, I like to use a double Pitzen.
