The Palomar Knot is a simple yet highly reliable fishing knot used to secure a line to hooks, lures, or swivels. It retains nearly 100% of the line's strength, making it ideal for both monofilament and braided lines. Its double-pass design through the hook eye ensures even stress distribution. The knot is quick to tie, even in challenging conditions like darkness or cold weather, and works well in both freshwater and saltwater fishing.

Advantages

Retains nearly 100% of line strength, works well with braided and monofilament lines, and is quick to tie even in difficult conditions.

Disadvantages

Not suitable for very thick lines or objects that cannot pass through the loop. Requires lubrication during tying to prevent weakening the line.
