As a newbie I first of all found the Palomar the easiest, but it's not possible if you're say connecting mainline or leader to a whole rig as you have to pull the rig through.

Once you start doing the blood knot it becomes second nature as you'll know from your coarse fishing.

Grinner or UNI Knot works for almost anything really and these are the knots that I have used for years and cant remember one time when they let me down :wink:

Its the four-turn Grinner for me. It is so easy to tie, even with cold numb fingers, and is very reliable. A feature of the Grinner I particularly like is that the tag-end lies flat against the snood when used for hooks. This allows wormbaits etc to slide easily over, unlike the bloodknot where the tag-end sticks out at a right-angle and can rip worms apart as you thread it on the hook.
