I use three different knots to attach hooks and lures. First is the improved clinch knot as shown below. I like it for Texas rigging and walleye jigs. The Palomar knot is an easy knot to tie and retains 100% strength of the line. It is a good knot for bass jigs and I also use it to attach steel leaders for pike and muskie fishing. The final knot I use is the Snell knot for making live bait rigs for walleyes and trout.

The knot I use most often in fishing is the uni-knot. It is used to attach your terminal tackle and to join two lines together. I really like it for joining braid to my mono top shot. The improved clinch is a good one, too. The Albright hitch, or knot, is good for attaching your line to a heavy mono leader without using a swivel. There are specialized knots, but with these three, and the Palomar, you can get a lot of fishing done. Tight lines.

I have to confess, my Grandpop taught me the improved clinch when I was probably about 7 or 8. Over the years I've at times made a point of learning and practicing different knots, but the improved clinch is what seems to stick and I revert to without even thinking about it for just about all fishing knots that aren't joining knots.
