Have been taking a few seasoned reco's out for fishing session over the past few years and some not knowing certain knots to connect[. and though i would put this one up as one of the best knot's to connect braids/lines to your swivels, lures etc.. all recos should have a wide variety of knot tying skills and the palomar will impove you catch rate especially when it comes down to braided lines being connected to swivels,attachment=20185:20150222_102616.jpg] hope this one helps a few reco's , and i would mainly use on your bait rigs ,cheers
