The Palomar Knot is one of the most popular knots among both freshwater and saltwater anglers given it's strong hold and the fact that it can be tied very quickly. Overall, the Palomar knot provides a very strong connection (even winning many knot strength contests) while being easier to tie than many of the other popular knots. My only issue with the Palomar knot is the fact that it is more difficult to use when tying to artificial lures... especially plugs with multiple sets of treble hooks. The added difficulty when tying it to lures is that part of the sequence requires the lure to pass through a loop you create in the line. This is a non-issue for plain hooks, but becomes difficult when using large plugs. Regardless, the Palomar knot is a must-know for both saltwater and freshwater fisherman.
