Hi

I am not convinced I am using the best method of attaching my lure clip to my main line ? I make a loop on the end of my line using a double overhand knot and attach my lure clip either directly to this loop or sometimes I attach a swivel to the loop and attach my clip to the swivel.

Is this 'normal' or is there a better/stronger/more efficient method ?

Cheers

I'll second that!

Thanks guys. So is there any benefit in attaching a swivel with the palomar knot and attaching the lure clip to that instead of attaching the clip direct to the line ? ?

Thats creating unnecessary clutter really. You dont need to swivel, unless you fish with lures that revolve and could cause line twist. Plugs and SP's work best and look most natural with NO connection, just straight onto a loop, a rapala knot for example. I use a small clip personally.

I have been using the palomar knot for 20+ years,totally reliable and mega strong.
