Uses: The Palomar Knot is a simple knot for attaching a line to a hook, or a fly to a leader or tippet. It is regarded as strong and reliable.
Tying it: After the loop is passed through the eye, an overhand knot is tied with the loop. The loop is then passed over the hook and the knot is tightened down. Advantages: With a little practice the Palomar is a knot which can be tied in the dark. Disadvantages: The fly or hook must pass through the loop which can be awkward and depends on making the loop large enough. |
