The
Palomar knot
The Palomar Knot
is very easy knot to tie, exceptionally strong, and very
popular with many anglers for tying swivels, hooks, lures,
or jig heads. This knot can be learned to be tied
by feel which will help when fishing under darkness.
Step
1. Double
about four inches of line the end of the
line and pass the loop through the hook eye
as shown in Figure 1.

Step
2. Double
the loop back, then make an overhand knot
around the standing line, leaving a large
enough for the hook, swivel or lure to pass
back through (Figure 2). Avoid
twisting the line and don't over tighten.
