I found this very unique website on tying knots. Check it out... http://www.animatedknots.com/

Excellent site. So, which knots do you use? I learned the Trilene Knot when I first started fishing as a kid and it's the only knot I ever use.

yes i love that site- its been in my favorites for years ! neat how they can animate that stuff aint it

Now and then, just to stay in practice, I'll use the Palomar Knot. It's the one I used as a kid, fishing in the creek. But when I got into my early twenties I discovered the Rapala Knot, and it's been the one I use. If I want to add extra strength to it, I just increase the amount of turns before I stick it through and pull it tight. I've NEVER lost a hook using the Rapala.

Yeah. Someone spent a lot of time working those animations. That stuff isn't easy to do!

My go-to knot I tie everyday is the improved clinch. I am starting to use another for braid tho, I use very little of it- NOT power pro......STREN super braid.....
