If you only want to learn one knot, the palomar knot is the one to know. I use the uni knot more often because it is a little quicker for me, I can ty it without looking and it just as strong or stronger for the #4 & 6# mono I normally use. I know the uni knot is just as strong or stronger because I have tested the knots head to head and the uni knot comes out on top more often than the palomar knot. The improved clinch knot and other knots that I have tested don't even come close in strength to the palomar or uni knot. I also use the rapala knot on a regular basis when I want better action but I'm fishing a larger diameter line.
