Hi Charlie
Yea I read that in the article, yet there seems to some differences of opinion on the applicability of the Double and Triple Palomar knots for high test braided lines. I sent the link because it shows how to tie the Triple Palomar, but I see the article itself seems to be talking about line size limits for use with small hooks, fly fishing and possibly monofilament line. I suspect it does not mean it would not be appropriate for braided line in other applications. Western Filament recommends the Triple Palomar by name for their braided fishing lines from the lighter 50 lb test up to extremely heavy deep sea fishing lines. When you buy their braided line they print the knot information on the inside of the box. This does not mean that a Double or Triple Palomar would necessarily be good for all brands of braided line, but I don’t see why not.
They also recommend and show how to tie (on the box) another double loop knot for braided line which I really like and use a lot, but I am not sure what it is called. It is kind of like a double line reverse Buzz Bomb knot. It provides a great extra strong, non slip, tapered knot as opposed to the square, more clunky but extremely strong Palomar family of knots. I love it for braided line but it does not work well at all with heavy monofilament. It will not cinch up in nice tapered coils the way the braided line does and wraps over itself which could cut against itself causing greatly reduced knot strength.
