after you tie the knot, pull the line tight to make sure it wont slip

this site shows a fly being tied, but it can be used for regular lures too

Answer 3

I use the Palomar knot for most of my fishing but it all depends on what line I'm using

Answer 6

in my experience the best all around knot for fishing is the "improved clinch knot".  works like a charm.

As a deckhand i have to know all types of knots and situations for them.  this will be your best bet.  

just google it or something and it will come up with a full "how to" guide

Answer 7

Why do you want to change a knot that already works for you?

The half blood is quite effective and I should imagine that you know it well enough to tie it with your eyes closed or with cold fingers.

You could try the full blood knot and make that extra move to thread the tag back into the original loop.

Answer 8

The improved clinch knot is the knot I use most.
