I know the blood knot, palomar, improved clinch, Bimini twist, Trilene, dropper loop and snell by heart and could tie them anytime. But what other knots should I know, I have tied them all, but can't remember how without directions again.
Any knots people would recommend to be best. For Mono or Florocarbon I use the Improved clinch or Trilene and have not had either one fail me yet. I use the palomar on braided line with a saver and I still don't feel very "safe" with it, so will be switching to a palomar and a Bimini twist.
Any good knots for braid to mono connections besides the Albright, it also doesn't seem "safe" to me with the braid pulling against the mono, and it tends to catch in the guides for me.
Does any one have tips for the Bimini twist, I know how to tie it, but am perfecting it. Do you tighten down the first 20 wraps before the final 6?
Thanks
I tie this on every thing up to 130 with no issues.
braid to mono for me is... Hollow core splice or hollow core sleeve.

I tried a Bimini twist then a palomar to the swivel today and that will be my new go to braid knot(s).
Thanks
