Status: offline 		The palomar is a strong knot, but the guy asked about knots for rigging tandems.  I am not sure how you use a palomar to tie a tandem rig, unless you pre-tie your droppers.  Also getting the line through the eye on a small hook twice is usually not easy, and sometimes not possible.

I stick to the improved clinch mainly, but I also use a uni-knot at times.  They are both good strong knots when tied properly.

Improved clinch will do the trick. Plus it's easy to tie in cold weather.

Status: offline 		you got to put the line thru once then bring it back thru then tie you knot. i use it on flies and egg hooks 18s and 22s. its not hard try it.

Status: offline 		Ah.  Yeah, I'm not used to flouro.  Just copoly tippet material.  Never had an issue with slippage.  Landed plenty of big fish with that knot.  Hell, half the time on a snag I have to straighten the rod out and do the ol heave ho.  Almost every time the tippet will actually stretch and break before the knot slips.  Try it out.  Don't be scared.
