chubs Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I am switching my trolling fly leaders over to 50 lb fluorocarbon and i am using a single treble hook. I was woundering what kind of knot to use when tying to the treble hook.?ThanksScott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killerbe20 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I prefer a uni knot. It lets the treble sit straight instead of cocked to one side which usually happens when you snell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ekbelt Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I do a polomar, it can be difficult to cinch it up with 50lb though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Hook'n Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Palomar - with everything that gets terminal tackle on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushy's Dad Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I do a polomar, it can be difficult to cinch it up with 50lb though.Agreed. That was the 3rd knot I taught to my cub scout den!1 Keep the line lubed 2 Try to pull the knot in one fluid motion3 Use a needle nosed pliers on the tag end of the line to finish the knotThis should help minimize the difficulties.

Consummate Sportsman Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Another vote for palomar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubs Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have been trying the polomar but like Erik said I am having a problem cinching it up. I have been useing the snell on the salmon flies but for the peanut flies that knot wouldn't work so well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mriversinco Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Polomar for me too, but like Mushy's dad said use a pair of pliers on the tag end and plenty of lubrication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkBlue Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Palomar. Gotta keep it lubed like everyone said to get a good seating.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushy's Dad Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 If you run that knot tight without lube, the floro will get really weak right at the knot. It must overheat the line. I broke a 30lb leader in my bare hands with little pressure, after I forgot to lube it. And no I am not a steelworker, I sit at a desk with a phone and a computer all day.

twohand Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Uni knot. Makes a nice small knot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTRAMP Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I prefer a uni knot. It lets the treble sit straight instead of cocked to one side which usually happens when you snellI agree with Josh been using it for years. When I tie 2 hook harnesses I use a snell knot on the upper and a Uni on the bottom hook works really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
