Sorry, I can't keep it at 3. I use
Baldy for hooks and palstics. San Diego for Irons Spider hitch or surgeons loop for dropper looping Uni to uni for conecting spec to mono/fluoro Seaguar knot to connect fluoro to mono. These work for me. Mike |

The Best Knot
- is a knot that has been properly lubricated first - then drawn carefully and not too far along its main line. If you apply this any of your favorite knots they will test better. ---------------------------------------- San Diego or Irwin for hooks, swivels, or irons. Inshore connection for Spectra to Mono... Albright, or Uni to Uni. or San Diego-Swivel-San Diego Offshore Bimini Twist to Albright Special for connecting Spectra to Mono. or Cat's Paw for loop to loop.

Didnt think about Dropper loops and stuff on my list. for rockfish and bass I just tie a standard DL, for larger fish a Rose Knot is my choice.
I also go Seaguar for mono/fluoro connections. Spectra to mono I almost always have a Dacron loop but in a pinch will go with a Uni to Uni.

Multiple knots??
 I just use a Uni-Knot for everything because I can cinch it tight or make a loop... but most importantly I can tie one in the dark, just by feel... and yes, I do lube before I cinch. Someone tell me if I'm just being naive. Maybe I'm just lucky that I haven't experienced any knot failures?? I've had line snag/cuts, but not knot failures.

http://www.fieldandstream.com/photos...-fishing-knots
found this article from fieldandstream while looking up on how to tie the suggested knots from this forum. it list the 5 strongest fishing knots. it maybe a good read for us who don't have a favorite knot. |

just curious why noone has stated the Tony Pena as a a knot they use for attaching braid to mono/fluoro?? Noticed it was pretty commonly used in a similar topic recently discussed on BD. I am pretty new to the whole use of braid but started tying the Tony Pena as my connector knot. Havent really gotten to put it to use on anything but a few small calicos but seems good.

- You can tie it well - so keep on using it. It can be tied in lines up to 200 lbs, and it is one of the knots used on long range boats while fishing cow tuna. ---------------------------------

 I do use a drooper loop knot when fishing weighted, but for hook to line, uni, never had a knot fail. Even use it for fishing light line, surf fishing, and have no fails.

 Forgot to mention - I even use the Uni-knot on the anchor-end of my anchor line!  This is a bit superficial, but I just think a well-tied Uni-knot just looks good and other knots look like a jumbled mess... as if the fish are going to judge me on the prettiness of my knots.
