Palomar Knot

Welcome to The FinTalk Fishing Knots details page for tying the Palomar Knot. Follow the directions step by step and practice tying any particular knot over and over until you have it mastered. Learn it and practice it so when you are faced with changing lures or rigs in the middle of a hot bite you can quickly tie your knot and get your line back in the water. Sometimes the bite is only on for a little while so getting caught up with tying and re-tying rigs can cost valuable fish time. Remember not only should you be able to tie your knot fairly quick but you should be able to tie your fishing knot properly fairly quick. Nothing is worse than having what you know was a big daddy fish and losing him only to wind up your line to see your knot failed. It is enough to ruin your day, especially if the fishing is slow. So enjoy learning to tie these knots and for more detailed instructions check out "Fishing Knots and Rigs' by Geoff Wilson.

   KNOT TERMINOLOGY

  • BUTT: The thick part of the leader. The butt of a leader is attached to the fishing line.
  • TAG or TAG END: The working end, the part of the line where the knot is tied.
  • STANDING PART: The main part of the line that is fixed and under tension. Such as the part of line that is on the reel.
  • STANDING END: The short area at the end of the standing part of the line.
  • WORKING END: The part of the line used actively in tying a knot. The opposite of the standing end.
  • END: A loop is a closed curved line, formed by bringing the tag end back and alongside the standing part, or a knot that creates a loop.
  • TIPPET: The end of a leader to which the lure is attached. The tippet can be the end of a leader or an added line to the end of a leader.
  • TURNS or WRAPS: A turn or wrap is one complete revolution of line around another.

KNOT NAME:

The Palomar Knot

KNOT DESCRIPTION:

A popular and easy to tie knot for small terminal tackle connections. It is one of the few recommended knots for use with braided lines. There are a few knots that you should learn to help make your fishing more secure.The Palomar is one of the easier ones.

 

The Palomar Knot is quick to tie and sufficiently strong for most fishing situations. It is a general-purpose connection used in joining fishing line to swivels, snaps, hooks and artificial lures. The double wrap of line through the eyelet provides a protective cushion for added knot strength, and is ideal for use with braided lines (SpideWire Fusion).
