I use the palomar knot (slightly different than recommended though) and the rapala knot exclusively, so I shouldnt have any issues. So you dont recommend using the rapala knot on braided line? If not, is there a similar knot because i prefer the action i get with that knot over most any other knot. Thanx for the info, glad you found your horny toads at that online store. They have a HUGE selction of lures/baits, haha.
