When i was fishing the other night, i thought i would try to use a different knot for tying my hook on. I have always used a knot which Graham taught me the Palomar,so i tried the (don't know what it's called) one where you go around your main line 6 or 7 times and back through the small loop.
I obviously didn't do it right, i lost a big fish! I have tried them before and lost fish, so that's why i will always use the palomar because i know it works.
Do you tend to stick to the same knot for tying your hooks?
I think the knot is the most important thing in fishing, because if that isn't right, you may as well go home.
Dave Chilton did an article on knots on here a while back which i printed out and tried to follow, i still struggle with them.
