What kind of knots do you use for spinners, I use a standard fishermens knot and have had problems braking of the spinner. Any ideas on a better knot ?

Try the Trilene not. It is on any package of trilene line.

Get the tie-master from Tie-master.com. Makes excellent knots for mono and braids. If tied properly the knot has greater strength than the main line.

i usually go with a clinch knot and haven't had any problems. that little wheel on the side of your reel, that's the drag. :tongue: if you're losing gear, you might try loosening it. just kidding you.

i have tied palomars on spinners but if you swap out spinners very often it wastes a lot of line. one thing about the clinch knot is that you need to wet the knot prior to tightening it down. if you don't, heat from the friction of the line on itself as the knot tightens will weaken your line.
