grinner knot

[leemason69]

can anyone tell me where i can get info rearding using the grinner knot to tie braid to mono?

[extreme]

normally have the knotts on the back of korda packets

i use the grinner for most of my knots apart from attatching leadcore.

 

works well with braid, mono and flourocarbon.

 

when i've tested knots with an old pair of scales i fisnd the grinner to be the strongest by far.

The Palomar is rated at 100% strength.IF tied correctly.

i've seen quite a bit about tying one

 

it sems pretty complicated for me though

 

looks too small to be strong

As long as all the loops bed down neat and tidy it`ll be fine.

That should do it.

Palomar is a great knot, very easy to tie once you've sussed out the pictures;) :D

The easiest way to describe it is to form a loop,pass that thru the eye of the hook/swivel,tie a granny knot,the before you pull it tight,pass the hook back thru the loop,then slowly pull tight making sure all the coils seat themselves neatly,obviously as with all knots moisten the line.

When you tie a grinner I prefer to go through the eye of the swivel twice , pull this thight before tying the rest of the knot.

i've been giving the grinner a go, seems strong enough when tied with 10lb line for zig-rig. It also odesn't coil the line as much from where you've tightened the knot

If line is coiling when you tighten knots you are probably not lubricating them enough, also do not try and tighten too quickly , ensure coils bed down tidily and pull knot together slowly.

I always wet the knots with saliva, it's probably because the line i use for zig hooklengths are fine diameter, prestretched monos(drennan double strength)

Have a look at maver genesis for zigs or floater work.

I use dreenan double strength myself for floater work and hooklink in winter never had a problem with coiling, maybe my saliva is more slick:D

Just practice the knot a few times , take time tightening as I said before and lube liberally...... ooh err !!!!!
