I have never been a fan of the Jam Knot, I look at it as a an improved Uni tied inside out. I have used this know for line over 40 lbs as it will allow you to lock the line down but for my fresh water application the improved uni or improved clinch is a better knot IMHO.

Want to see which works better - tie each knot and have a "battle of the knots" Tie each one on a metal bar, spoon whatever you can hold in your hand and the other on a similar object. Step on one object and pull until a knot fails! Quick way to test the breaking point of the knots you tie.

Dave you should try that with 30lb braid and a palomar knot :lol: I see lots of braid cuts in the near future.

Im sure no one is actually gonna do this, and if you are FOR GODS SAKE WRAP IT AROUND A PIECE OF LUMBER PEOPLE.....

I tie the improved clinch, only when i want a longer knot, basically i only use it on top water baits to try and keep the line from gettin under the front hook. other than that i just use the palomar.
