"Most of the world is covered by water. A fishermans's job is simple: Pick out the best parts." Charles Waterman

"One thing becomes clearer as one gets older and one's fishing experience increases, and that is the paramount importance of one's fishing companions." John Ashley-Cooper

"There will be days when the fishing is better than one's most optimistic forecast, others when it is far worse. Either is a gain over just staying home." Roderick Haig-Brown

THE ONLY KNOT I NEED

I am a huge believer in the palomar knot.  I have always used this knot for monofilament and  never had a problem.  This year as I venture into using flourocarbon and braided lines, I plan on continuing to use this knot.  Everything I tie on is with this knot, whether it be a simple hook, swivel, crankbait, spinnerbait, topwater, or drop shot.  This is a very easy knot to learn how to tie and I promise you that if you don't know how to tie it yet, you won't be disappointed once you learn.  The link is to an episode of "knot wars" that was run on the North American Fisherman show on the Versus Channel.  It shows how to tie he palomar knot and how it faired against the Trilene knot.  Also, there are other videos at the footer of my blog showing how to tie the Palomar knot.

    I couldn't agree more. I even use the palomar on flies. Check out this knot website http://www.animatedknots.com/
