This is interesting, I think I'll give it a shot next time I use a drop shot. I've become a big fan of the uni knot over the past few years. Started with targeting bigger species but I find I'm using it more when fishing for bass, trout, and even panfish. Especially like it for snelling larger circle hooks.

Yep I've done that, but also when casting the split shot weight flew off and my cast went nowhere backlashing my line.

I had the same trouble with the palomar on dropshot. You'll get a similar result using the uni or the trilene knot and running the tag through the eye of the hook after(victory lap). I prefer the trilene, but that's just personal preference. Hook stands up, bait shakes nicely. Bass inhale it.

Yes the palomar knot is not designed for lite line, this knot should help the breaking.

You should try the double pitzen knot, sometimes known as the "shaw Grigsby knot" because he has a video for it, and leave a long tag end of course for the weight. It's the best knot I've tested for fluorocarbon

Its just the knot that's different for the drop shot, its stronger then the palomar. Most people tie the palomar for a drop shot. So yes uni with a long tag end.

But can you tie the uniknot in the wind ? When I'll stick with palomar knot. I dont break off fish 8# test landed bass up to 9 #'s been doing it 12 years. i dont worrying about breaking off snags cause you should retie anyways on snags or after muiltiple fish. I can retie it fast under 15 seconds use quality line too that helps. Quick easy strong. Never failed me yet.

Whatever works, I often don't do that myself.

Nice video, but I have to disagree. There are some KZread videos that show different knot strength tests with lab equipment, and the Palomar comes up on top. The reason the Palomar knot breaks for some anglers using fluorocarbon line is incorrect tying. Please look at Jacob Wheeler's video he put out in 2021 on tying the knot.....you have to make sure at the end of tying BEFORE cinching it down that a section of the line is "flipped up" so it won't cut into itself. If I may make another suggestion. Please try these alternate hook knots which allow for a better 90 degree hook positioning than the Palomar knot. May not be as strong, but positioning is better: 1. "Keep Your Dropshot Hook UP! How To Tie The BEST Knot For Dropshots" by KZreadr Humbug Outdoors fishing 2. "How To Tie Drop Shot Rig | Fast & Easy Way [ Drop Shot knot ]" by KZreadr MHR FISHING Note : They are slightly different ties from each other. The first video leaves the stacks of line on each side TOUCHING the eyelet. BUT the 2nd video leaves the stacks of line on each side BELOW the eyelet. I am still playing with which I will rely on more. Hope this helps.

Your incorrect the weakness of the palomar knot is the fact it digs into itself even if tied correctly. Tie it on heavy line it won't break its self, tie it on light line with pressure and it cuts through itself. Check the facts about the knot, these issues will come up.

Nothing wrong with using either knot… but with lighter line you can’t see when your line is crossed over the doubled Palomar knot …and it will cut into one of the Palomar doubled lines and most assuredly break … a simple fix/trick is to tie a simple overhand knot just above your weight … that’ll be your weak link and it will break at that overhand knot…
