What is the strongest knot to tie?
The Palomar Knot is arguably the strongest all-around knot. Due to its use of a double line, it is as efficient at maintaining a high breaking strength as it is easy to tie. Furthermore, it is versatile and can be used for monofilament, fluorocarbon, and braided lines alike.
How many turns on a Knotless Knot?
A standard Knotless Knot works best with between 7 and 9 turns. This will vary slightly with different hook patterns, here we’re using a Wide Gape Talon Tip so 8 wraps is perfect. Step 7. Finish off by threading the hooklink back through the eye towards the hook point.

What is the weakest knot?
The clove hitch is the weakest of the common climbing knots, at 60 to 65 percent. Note, however, that modern climbing ropes have a tensile strength of upwards of 6,000 pounds, so even a clove hitch would fail at something like 3,600 pounds.
What is the best knot for monofilament?

| Average | 112.8% |
What is the strongest knot for fluorocarbon?
Tornado HH Knot
So, what is the best knot for fluorocarbon? Sunline recommends using the Tornado HH Knot. We recommend this knot for fluorocarbon because the knot strength of the Tornado HH knot is nearly 100 % of straight strength. Meaning the knot has the same tensile strength as the line.
What knot tightens as you pull?
In fact the Arbor Knot is really based on a noose knot and, therefore, pulling tightens it. The same knot is used in Bushcraft under the name Canadian Jam Knot where a light rope, e.g., paracord, is being used to compress a load such as a sleeping bag or is used as the first step in creating a lashing.
