braid to hook or lure knot

[moto_23]

Hi guys, I have loaded braid onto one of my baitcasters especially for frogging and I'm not sure which knot to use to join the braid directly to the hook or lure. Could someone please advise on which knot would be the most suitable for this application.

Thanks.

When you tie braid to anything solid... Palomar, full stop

depending on what braid you have

Palomar is best for fireline.
uniknot i use for 'round' braid.

i agree...i tie my braid directly to the hook using a palomar knot...but what i do to stop it from slipping is to tie a loop on the tag end...and during comps i super glued the tag end to the main line...just in case...never had a problem with the knot just the hooks snapping...i now only use no 5 owner j hooks for frog fishing.

something rory da silva taught me a while back...which helps with the hook up rate...dont push the hook thru the frog rather use a bigger hook and just skin hook it betwen the legs...it is still weedless but hooks more fish.

I only use palomar knot for braid to swiwel or braid to hook. Never had a failure. Easy knot to make and very strong.
