I've used this knot but without the twist, it failed on the first big fish i hookedWidsa wrote:Try this one lads, it has never failed me.
Once you get used to tying them they are easy.
The beauty of this knot is the line is doubled and twisted so it stiffens it up to stay out and away from the main line.
Once you get the hang of it this is the best knot in my opinion for a paternoster rig.

Been using the grannies knot since with no issues, as shane said it's easy to undo, so replacement of hook/dropper is easy.
When i was out the other night i had to cut a bango free, i just tied another hook on using a grannies knot.
Before i started yak fishing i would always tie a loop dropper paternoster with a length of main line (mono), never had any issues although for bigger fishing it was always steel trace. Now im far more pedantic as a total change of style i dont go fishing anymore, i target a species the rest are bye catch, although usually very tasty too lol
The other rig i use is a snelled rig(2 hooks on the bottom of a running sinker rig)
