How to tie Palomar knot

The Palomar Knot

The Palomar Knot is a general-purpose connection used in joining fishing line to swivels, snaps, hooks and artificial lures. The double wrap of line through the eyelet provides a protective cushion for added knot strength. The knot strength is about 95%.

1) Double the line and form a loop three to four inches long. Pass the end of the loop through the hook's eye.

2) Holding standing line between thumb and finger, grasp loop with free hand and form a simple overhand knot.

Avoid twisting the lines and do NOT tighten the knot.


	3) Pass hook through loop and draw line while guiding loop over top of eyelet. Make sure the loop passes completely over the attachment.

4) Pull tag end of line to tighten knot snugly and trim tag end to about 1/8 inch.
