Terminal Knot with 2 Contact Points
Adrian Gumban:
After reading this thread I did a bit of searching on google & came across the palomar knot. It is super easy to tie & cinches down really well with heavy mono

I suspect it may be a bit bulky for heavy leader.
Nick Bowles:
A good few knots here to try over the summer!! I've used a simple 3 turn clinch knot for a long time and never had any failure, the only thing is to make sure you seat it properly to start so there is no slippage. Give a good pull with the PE pullers till the leader starts to stretch and burn off the end.
A couple of issues this passed season with clients using the chain knot and also when clients have looped the leader around the terminal twice if not done correctly the leader overlaps and cuts or there is to much pressure on one strand and pops.
Cheers,
Nick

Along with a simple snell for eye-less hooks, I think the Palomar was the first knot I learned as a young kid. Works great with light mono and even with braid, but I can't see it with 200 lb shock leader.

You will be surprised. I tested this knot with 210lb sunline shock leader & it cinched up perfect. I used to use the trilene knot for all my connections but think I will start using this knot. It is just so easy to tie & isn't that bulky, no more bulky than any of the uni style knots.
