My trout fishing is aqlmost entirely with two and four pound Vanish and I use the palomar knot. I have never experienced a knot failure with this knot when correctly tied. After tying give the line a firm pull to check that the knot is secure.

I have been giving this one a try. Looks hard to tie, but with a little practice it becomes easy.

You might want to skip the first half. It's a commercial for his version of a Sink-O.

It's funny that he "invented" a Uni-knot where you go through the hook eye twice before making the standard Uni-knot - like I've been using to tie braid direct for more than 15 years.

Anyway, it is a good knot, but you better wet that sucker when tying it with fluoro, it has plenty of "slip" when tying it, which can cause fluoro to "burn" if not moistened.
