How to Tie the Double Palomar Knot
The basic Palomar Knot might be the most popular and frequently-used knot among serious bass anglers.

It’s not only easy to tie, but also exceptionally strong. If you want something even stronger, consider the Double Palomar. Here’s how some of the top pros tie it – usually around heavy cover.
