I normaly use a palomar. ( I use a palomar for just about everything )
Thats the knot and I also use nothing but PowerPro for braid. If you take a lighter and burn the tag end a little to put a burr on it there is no way it will pull throughLakeCityYankee said:I've tried a lot of different knots with braids in these shallow stump filled "snag nightmares" (lol) that I fish on a regular basis here in SC and the uni knot that is illustrated in the Power Pro booklet that comes with the line has been the most reliable for me. I am so convinced of this knots incredible reliability and strength that I even keep the booklet in my wallet just in case I have a brain fart and for some reason forget how to tie the knot.

Here is the instructions and images as found on Power Pro's website.

1) Pass a 10 to 15" length of PowerPro through the eye twice and form a loop. For even greater knot strength, double the PowerPro if the eye will allow.

2) Wrapping through the loop and around the standing line, make 8 to 10 wraps.

3) Pull on the tag end. Look to see that the wraps form a neat orderly knot.

4) Tighten the knot and trim the tag end. Turnaround clinch knot.
Good knot for fluorocarbon line;Jig Man said:For braid to bait I use a modified San Diego Jam. It is easy, can be tied with gloves on, never slips and only takes 12 seconds to tie unless the wind in real strong.
The way I tie it is to take both parts of the line between my left thumb and forefinger about 2" above the bait with about 6" of tag. I grab the tag with the right thumb and forefinger and make ONLY 5 wraps around the bait as I swing it. Then I pass the tag through the loop at the left thumb and forefinger, draw it tight and cut off the tag. It is about the only knot I tie except with fluro. I have never had it slip on any size of bait.oldschool said:Good knot for fluorocarbon line;Jig Man said:For braid to bait I use a modified San Diego Jam.

Thanks Jared I have started using this knot on my braid and feel much more confident in it. :thumbup01:Jared said:I've tried a lot of different knots with braids in these shallow stump filled "snag nightmares" (lol) that I fish on a regular basis here in SC and the uni knot that is illustrated in the Power Pro booklet that comes with the line has been the most reliable for me.
