At an Elite series event, I tied my knot and had it tested on a Berkley machine and won a free hat because it exceeded their 20 pound mark (on their supplied 10 lb test). When it broke, around 22 or 23 lbs, the line broke several inches from the knot. I watched others for a while and not one person tying the Palomar won a hat. Most of those knots broke around the 17 lb mark.

It's a clinch knot, but with the line doubled. It's very similar to the braid knot and looks like the braid knot when it is finished. It's very fast and easy to tie and easy to take off the eye of the lure. It's my go to knot, for sure.

I double the line and run it through the eye, make 5 full twists of the lure/hook, and then run it back through the gap in the line close to the eye, wet it, then cinch it down, cut the tag ends.

The number of twists that I use depends on the thickness of the line. I like to put at least 5 full twists, except for very heavy line. With light line, I may use 7 or so twists.
