Best knot and line for tying swimbait?
When it comes to tying a swimbait, there are a few factors to consider, including the type of knot and the line you use. Based on the video context, the knot that is recommended for swimbaits is the no-slip loop knot. This knot allows the bait to move freely and gives it a natural action in the water.
As for the line, it is suggested to use monofilament line for swimbaits, particularly in clear water conditions. Monofilament line has a floating quality that can help keep the bait suspended and visible to the fish. The specific line weight can vary depending on your preference and the size of the swimbait, but a range of 6.5 to 6.10 is commonly used.
It's important to note that the video context does not explicitly mention the best line for swimbaits, so it would be helpful to have more information. Factors such as water clarity, depth, and the size of the swimbait can all influence the choice of line. If you can provide more details, I can give you a more tailored recommendation.

What's The Best Fishing Knot? | Bass Fishing by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → Right here I have some high-colored high-vis
braided line and a really big hook so you can see good. Probably right in this area is good for you. Pretend this is my main line here. It's main longer. Take it and double it up. What I do is when I take that loop and double
up with fluorocarbon or braid, too. That works good with everything. I usually give it a little pinch. Obviously this is big stuff and this is a
big hook, but with the smaller lines I just give a pinch so it's easier to get in the
eye of the hook. Once I do that, you're going to slide it like
so. Give yourself enough line. That's the most important thing you want to
do is don't give yourself like that much because you'll make it really hard on yourself. Give yourself, especially starting out with
this knot, give yourself a lot of material to work with. Here is your main line. The tag end's right here. All right, grab it like so. Usually by now I'll grab my main line, my
tag in, which is a loop that came through. I made that loop. I'm going to grab this loop and slide the
hook up, holding this piece the tag in the main line. With my same hand...That's the hardest part
about this knot you're going to find is hand position. I take my right hand and my pinkie and whatever
finger this is called, and then hold it there. Hold it tight.

What's The Best Fishing Knot? | Bass Fishing by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → One of the things I can tell you is on those
slips is you've got to do a lot of wraps. So, a minimum, to me, I think is about six. Six wraps. And if you use two pounds, or three pounds
for trout, which I do sometimes, I use eight wraps. Because it's literally almost a hundred percent,
up in the high 90's, 98%, 99% knot strength. The same thing with braid. Braided line, I use anywhere from ten to fourteen
wraps. The lighter I go, the more wraps I do. The fluorocarbon, now, you'll notice, I always
fish on the heavier lines. They'll be a little big, but it's never affected
the way they hit it, and it's so strong that that's all I use. I do connect the fluorocarbon to the braid
with the same knot. I just do two of them, so. I can show you some of that stuff later. Hi, I'm Aaron Martins here with Limit Out
Marine in Washington. I'm going to show my knot that I use. It's an old saltwater knot. It's called a uni. You can call them Razo knot. Razo takes a little bit of credit for it,
but I think a lot of salt water guys always double their knots. Basically it's a uni knot doubled, with the
line doubled. It makes you able to do it on the drop shot
rig. If you do it singly, you've got a long tie
again, but if you double it, you have a short loop.

What's The Best Fishing Knot? | Bass Fishing by Bass Fishing Tips & Techniques by BassResource → They'll have a whole page of knots, like,
eight, ten different knots, how to do them. Even two pages, I've never seen them illustrate
a Palomar. That's how against it they are. But, you're losing 10 percent to 20 percent
of knot strength, and I can show you guys. I'll be here as long as you guy want, I don't
have to fly out till tomorrow. But, I'll show you some knots I got. The one thing I can tell you, there's a lot
of good knots, and slips. They don't really . . . they're actually specified
as slips, like nooses, like a hangman's noose is basically what it is. On fluorocarbon, anything that kind of cinches
down and doesn't bind is a good way to connect your bait to fluorocarbon. There's not really that many knots. There's only a Palomar. The rest of them are actually slips. There's a Trilene, there's a San Diego, Improved
Clinch. They're all kind of similar. There's some easy ones I can show you that
I used to tie that are really good. They're way better than a Palomar, but they're
less consistent and I'm all about consistency. And I don't want to risk having an overlap
somewhere and snap off a big fish. Because I do pull so hard, I need a perfect
knot. So the one I use is a Uni. I double the line, make a big loop, and then
I tie it, which I can show you later.
