Could anyone recommend the best knots for flourocarbon hooklenghts for hooks and swivels.

I've tied a knotless for the hook and it seems to turn in the point quite a lot. Is this ok?

Cheers,

Paul

I had trouble with knots on Flourocarbon and ended up using the knotless knot and a overhand loop on the swivel end.

Thanks Rivercarper,

Is the overhand loop the same as the Palomar knot?

The overhand loop is the same as the way you tie your hair loops but this time it has a swivel in the loop give extra movement.
