The Two Turn Clinch Knot (aka Trilene Knot) is a simple knot that is a great choice for attaching monofilament and fluorocarbon fishing lines to hooks, lures and swivels. It is also a great knot choice for novice anglers to learn how to tie and experts like the knot because it can be easily tied at night in complete darkness.
Always moisten your line with saliva or water before pulling tight. This is especially important on fluorocarbon lines that are easily damaged by heat from friction.
The Palomar is a very simple and strong fishing knot for tying a line to a hook as long as it is tied properly. This is an exceptional knot for attaching braided line and very good for tying mono and fluorocarbon lines. It is important to never cross the lines over each other that run through the hook eye because on monofilament and fluorocarbon lines the top line will press down on the bottom line causing the knot break more easily. The Palomar is more forgiving on braided fishing lines.
Always moisten your line with saliva or water before pulling tight. This is especially important on fluorocarbon lines that are easily damaged by heat from friction.
