[font "Garamond"][#008000][size 4]I like the Palomar knot with one exception. Passing the tippet through a small eye once is tough on these old eyes but twice is where I draw the line. So I came up with a modified version, whereas I pass the line through the eye once, then holding both the tag end and main line I form a loop and then give it another 180ยบ turn then pass the loop over the hook. This essentially creates a figure 8 knot. Found that it holds quite well. If no one else lays claim to this knot then I dub it the teo-loop knot.[/size][/#008000][/font]
