Crank Bait Knots to Use?

When using super lines (like fireline)what kind of knot should I be using? I’ve also heard some tie directly to the eye and others to the split ring (not all cranks come with a split ring), which is correct? Thanks for any help.

PALOMAR KNOT

I use Spider Wire Stealth and always tie the palomar knot to a standard #2 or 4 cross lock snap. I very seldom will tie direct, I know a lot of guys who do but I like to be able to change things out quickly when having to do so. Different strokes for different folks you know.

Ditto to what Dustin said.

Ditto on what BFD said !!

Palomar knot for superlines has worked great for me.I use a cross lock snap if you connect to the bill of the crankbait.If you have to tie directly to the crankbait then I don’t use a snap,I tie direct to the crank.

Hey guys thanks for the info. I kind of like the idea of the snap. I know I’ve at times kept a lure on longer than i should have just because i didn’t want to re-tie. So I’m assuming no one has had ill effects of the extra hardware for walleyes. I’ve got fishing partners who would argue the point that less is better (hardware). Do any of you also use a swivle along with the snap? Thanks again, I learning alot here!

I have never seen any ill effects of using a small cross lock snap. It doesn’t add any more to the profile of the bait and a walleye isn’t too finicky when they hammer a crank vs. when they tap and play with live bait.
Usually when using a crank there is very minimal line twist so I don’t think a swivel is necessary.
Just my 2 cents.

Hey Moose,
sorry I did not answer the second part of your question, I also use a cross lock snap, I do not think a swivel would let your lure run correctly.

Thanks again for the fishing tips. Got some cross lock snaps last night! (along with many things a didn’t need). Heading up to LOTW (Oak Island) on Friday.
GREAT Forum! Moose
