SCPFC Favorite Knots
San Diego Jam Knot
The San Diego Jam Knot is a strong knot that is a great choice for connecting hooks to fishing line. This knot was originally designed by west coast fishermen to tie fishing line to heavy iron jigs when targeting big tuna. It’s a great knot for:
- A quick and reliable terminal knot connection
- A knot that can be used with braid & monofilament line
- A good knot for connecting mainline straight to the hook
Palomar Knot
I consider this to be one of the single best fishing knots. Many fishermen believe that the Palomar Knot holds that title. Palomar Knot comes close to being a 100% knot when tied properly. Be sure that when the hook or lure is passed through the loop that all parts of the knot cinch up together. Many depictions of this knot elsewhere make it look like the loop part of the knot goes up against the bottom of the eye of the hook or lure. The knot can fail if tied in that manner. This is also the best knot to use with braided fishing line. Due to the durability of the bait you might not think to retie your knot as often and the Palomar will probably hold up to more fish catching abuse than other knots.
RP aka John Collins Knot
Considered one of fastest and best knot when tying mono/fluorocarbon line to braided line. Some call it the improved/Reverse Albright, but it was originally the work of John Collins on the F/V Royal Polaris. See the great video below.
