What's the best knot for braid? [PowerPro vs. J-Braid]

If you’re tying braided line directly to a hook or swivel, this matters. For this experiment, we tested three of the most trusted braid knots: • Palomar Knot • Toit Knot • Modified Braid Uni Knot But we didn’t stop there. Each knot was tested on both 4-strand and 8-strand braid, and we alternated between dry cinching and using saliva to see if lubrication actually changes breaking strength. The differences were bigger than expected. One braid consistently outperformed the other. One knot separated itself under certain conditions. And the “wet vs dry” test made a much larger impact than most anglers would assume. Every single break occurred at the knot. No slipping. No outside line failures. And every result came in above the 10 lb rating. We also compare these results to line-to-line connections like the FG knot — and that comparison puts things into perspective fast. If you’re serious about maximizing strength with braided line, this is worth watching before your next trip.
