I personally think the palomar is one of the easiest knots to tie. If you don't know what knot you were tying, then that is probably what was causing the breakages.

Just make your loop bigger and it will be a lot easier. I don't have any problems with tying on 8" swimbait or massive jigs even.

Used Berkley 100% for several years with no problems, even with 8# when the situation called for it. Be sure you lubricate your knot well.

When I started out tossing big swimbaits, it was recommended to use the Berkley 100% Fluoro. I loaded my 6500C with 25# test. What a disaster! Kinky and loaded with memory. I went on some swimbait sites and talked with Bill at Bill's Bait in Norton Mass. They recommeded Triple Fish Perlon Mono instead. I loaded up my 6500 and have never looked back. Must better casting ability, low stretch and toughness. For tossing swimbaits, this is one fine monofilament line.

As far as fluoro goes though, I use it on two of my lighter rigs. I have to use the Vanish Transition though, due to these older eyes needing to actually see the line. Both these rigs have 8# test on them and I've never had a problem, either with knot tying/strength, or excessive memory. Both these rigs are what I use for smallie fishing when presenting tubes or Senkos. Works for me! >/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />

I started useing vicious pro floro last year and have been very happy with it. I've used berkleys 100 % floro and didn't like it for my spining rod at all. too much line twist to put up with. Vicious also makes a great mono that is floresent witch is great for night fishing ! With black lights.. I do like trilene vanish I've had good luck with it as well.

i use berkley's floro 10 lbs here on the potomac river and i have problems sometime on my spinning gear, but it is tough, never broke off and i use the palomar knot, but around the grass beds, i use power pro in 50 lb on my spinning rod. i like the 100 floro better than vanish!!
