The Palomar Knot
The Palomar Knot is a general purpose connection recommended in joining fishing line to swivels, snaps, hooks and artificial lures. The double wrap of line through the eyelet provides a protective cushion for added knot strength.
- Double the line and form a loop three to four inches long. Pass the end of the loop through the hook's eye.
- Holding standing line between thumb and forefinger, grasp loop with free hand and form a simple overhand knot.
- Pass the hook through loop and draw line while guiding loop over top of eyelet.
- Pull tag end of line to tighten knot snugly and trim tag end to about 1/4 inch.
