i know of the palomer, the blood knot, the standard and thats about it.
The one that I always use is the ‘Clinch knot’ – I’ve never had it come undone. It may look time consuming at first, but the wrap arounds are done easily enough by gripping one end, and rolling your fingers on your swivel.

What Kind of fishing line is best for a baitcasting reel? and how many Lbs?
Braided Superline? Monofilament? Fluorocarbon?
10? 12? 20? 30? 40? 50? 65?
That is strictly a preference issue. You have to experiment to find out what works best for you.
In my opinion, Baitcasters work best with line diameters ranging from 10LB and UP, (12-17LB being about perfect).
Most of my Baitcaster’s have 14LB diameter Mono line spooled up with a leader of Flurocarbon. With a leader of Fluro, (and a Mono mainline), I get the best of all worlds……this works well for me.
I save the Braid for heavy duty, high abrasion, area’s for "Flippin" and fishing HEAVY weeds & wood structure/rip rap. However, the diameter of my line still stays around 10-12LB when using braid.
Here are some general rules I use with line-
1. Always use Mono for any Topwater fishing. Mono "floats" higher than Braid or Fluro and is easier to manage when using lures that float.
2. Try to use a line diameter bigger than 10-12LB if your new to B-casting. Larger diameter lines are MUCH easier to manage & cast than smaller lines; esp when your learning.
3. When your choosing lures remember that Braid and Fluro sink quicker than Mono. So, if you want a lure to "fall slowly", (and stay in the strike zone longer), Mono would be a better choice.
Otherwise, try various brands and line types until you find one YOU like.
Hope this helps ya? Good luck.
