When out comes to fishing knots, everyone has always wanted to know what ones are the best…In this video I test some of the most popular fishing knots on the market and found the strongest one!
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

well done test, we need more testing videos
Very interesting.
I’ll put the Miller Knot up against any knot. I’ve had the line break before the knot.
Please wear glasses when doing this
Superb as ever. Love the channel ❤️
Would be really interesting (as you really have a sweet setup there) if you did the same with braid and braid to FC/MONO leader. 🙂
I tie a Palomar on all moving baits. On a jig I tie the pitzen knot or whatever it's called because it doesn't break on hook set. I always make sure when tying Palomar that the loop is on top and line isn't crossed but every time I set hook on a jig it breaks. 🤷
Fantastic video, please do a test on the Gerald swindle knot , Mark Zona use the same he just calls it the shark knot would love to see that please thanks 🙏😊
You mention the double uni in the video but fail to include it? Da F*ck!!!
Dang. My money was on the Palomar. The TRF footage cracked me up 😆
The san diego jam has landed me a 30lb yellow fin tuna on 20 lb test no problem. Definitely a go to knot
Palomar knot doesn’t like fluoro. Please break down the science of why.
Better video than any Randy B😅 just joking but this video was done very very well. Palomar for life still for me.😅
Just watched a new knot…scored higher that the Palomar amd the San Diego knot its called the TOIT KNOT…check it out
great video, please run the exact same tests and knots with your favorite 20lb braid and 20lb mono.

Sometimes those outliers are real! Some knots are more compatable with a line than others. The strength of the best knot will vary by brand and diameter.
SDJ originated on the west coast among tuna fisherman, its a very legit knot. Also, the double palomar/nanofil knot is more compact, simple to tie than the DSDJ, and has two fewer tags. double palomar/ modified palomar is more cosistant than the normal palomar.
I use the single/reg SDJ on braid. It WILL not slip like many knots will (palomar included).
Naturally as an engineer, these are my favorite videos. Thanks for clearing this up for all of us. Of course we’re all going to want a leader to main line knot test next lol
I never use fluorocarbon for this reason I think the Palomar knot burns the line.
I would have liked to see you wear safety glasses.
Great test next time try the double line uni . Might be interesting seeing how many pounds of force on a hook set at 25’, 50’ and 75’ with a MH and a H rod. Then find some kind of way to test line strength on a hook set . Maybe attaching a heavy weight and free fall drop.
Double pitzen is life
One thing to take away is that despite what everyone says, fluorocarbon stretches! Also, fluorocarbon breaks easily. I bet 20 pound Big Game would break at around 25 pounds.
Who’s going to tie them for me if I’m never going to tie another fishing knot?
Do different line to line knots. Braid to floro.. Interested in seeing the blood knot
Thank you for taking the risk of getting hooked by a jig for your viewers. LOL!!! Enjoyed another video of yours.
Great video but on any knot I always help guide the cinching down without pulling it tight or it will burn the fluorocarbon. I always used to wet it and pull tight and finally figured out if I assist the knot down with my finger before pulling it tight I hardly ever break off because of the knot.
it got me laughing a bit when you react to each line break with a seemingly startled outcry
😮
Most of these dont look like they are breaking at the knot
So as the second uni knot broken i had a notification on my phone as i was watching. It happens to be a banjo string being plucked. It was great sound effects for a very informative video.
Great job there HQ. I would have chosen your knot for strength as I have found it works best for me. But I may have to try out the San Diego Jam knot for shits and giggles 😁👍💯
Safety squints for the win 😂
What does a central Ohio angler do when he's bored in the dead of winter? Test fishing gear, of course!
I've been tying the double pitzen since I saw you introduce it in an earlier video. It almost never breaks, however it doesn't seem to hold well in braid
Eye protection
Not that knot failures can't happen, but outside of tournament fishing is this really a serious concern that people have? I feel like it's such a rare occurance unless you're improperly tying the knots in the first place. When money is on the line in a tournament situation, a certain level of paranoia is understandable, but I think that most people would be served fine by just about any knot suitable for the purpose as long as its properly tied. I guess that there's nothing intrinsically wrong with tying a stronger knot for extra security, but sometimes it seems like people overcomplicate this stuff.
Garbage line, 🗑 🚮 🗑 try it with a more consistent quality line, your results will be way different.
Safety glasses please…
May have to change up my knot.
By the way you did Tyler wrong 🤣🤣🤣
Miller knot has been my go fluoro knot for about 4 years now and there is no going back for me. Prior to that it was a double San Diego jam. I still use a Palomar for braid, well a double Palomar to be specific. I will use the snell if I’m flipping/punching but not in wood. The PR knot replaced the FG knot for me for leaders, unless I don’t have a bobbin handy. Edit: one of the reasons for the consistency of the snell over the rest is due to the way it is tied with no real tension of the not being slid down the line to the termination point which weakens the line. A Palomar can work with fluoro if tied carefully but there are much better knots for fluoro, ie the miller and dsdj.
These are the best types of content
I done similar tests a few winters ago and got nearly identical results. My trilene knot done better probably due to tying it for nearly fifty years but the san diego jam came out on top. We still find pieces of line laying around the house lol
