    I use and highly recommend the Palomar knot. It is quick and easy to tie and retains the highest line/knot strength that I know of. Look it up on Google to see how easy it is to learn and to tie. Good luck and good fishing.

    The Mahseer knot I find is the best to use for eyed hooks + swivels

    This knot is seriously strong, and originally used for catching these beasties in very fast & rocky Indian rivers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahseer

    to connect pieces of line together without using a swivel, the Surgeon’s knot / 4-turn water knot

    I use a polomar knot or an improved cinch knot. Both are great knots.
