What are some of your favorite knots to tie? What types of line are you using tying certain knots? Why do you favor certain knots?

Just doing a little research for our radio show.

I use four different knots 99% of the time:

A uni-knot to uni-knot for tying two lines together.
A polamer knot when using super lines like Power Pro.
A new improved clinch knot for mono.
A snell knot for tying Crawler Harnesses.


Here are a couple of web pages that I usually share with people when I do presentations:

Loueye,

Thanks for the link. I'm looking for the knots used by the readers of this site.

Lets see... theres Palomar, then there's palomar, and of course last but not least, Palomar.

Ever since that fishing show in Detroit about 10 years ago or so, when they had this calibrated line breaker. When they broke knots I tied with 12 pound test, at an average of 3 pounds under the lines advertised strength. Then broke the same line above the line test strength, after I tide palomars with the same line.

"I've seen the light shining down from the mountain brother, and the light is being held by a palomar knot."

Pretty much agree with Sunshine... Just add a surgeons knot for some line to line applications.
