no sir..DO NOT used improved clinch..for some reason that knot does not work..I learned the hard way..You should have no problem with it on spincasters.the Palamar knot is very easy to tie..

BUT to be honest with ya..I'm mostly a spinning man myself..If it wasn't for thick vegetation and fishing rubber worms..I would buy nothing but mono...I love spinnning alot more than baitcasters...Braid does not cast as far as mono..I don't want to mislead ya...I mostly use it because it has ZERO memory when worm fishing..and it's great for flipping when fish are green at the boat and you need to pull them out of the cat tails.
