Palomar Knot
The Palomar Knot is quick to tie and sufficiently
strong for most fishing situations. It is a general-purpose
connection used 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, and is
ideal for use with braided lines (SpideWire Fusion).
