Knot tieing has never been my strong suit,
I know you guys can tell me.What is the best knot for fireline,mono.spider wire? I mostly use rapala knot on cranks,seem to have more action. I use the palamar for the other knots. Is this good or bad? Thanks for any help.

Super Lines-I use palomar
Mono-Improved Clinch or Trilene Knot

Splicing the two-Double Uni Knot

ddt,
explaining how to tie knots can be difficult(for me atleast). here are two web sites that illustrate how to tie a number of popular knots.

Polomar knot on mono and superlines
Rapala knot on jigging spoons and cranks
Back to Back Uni when splicing knots

My wife got me a fishing knot book for Christmas a few years ago. The polomar knot was one of the very few knots that retained at least 97% of the original line strength. So I use that as much as possible.
