wat kinds of knots do you use for-
drop shot
crankbaits
spinner baits
inline spinners
hooks
sinkers

For crankbaits and inline spinners I use a loop knot this particular one is called a rapala knot http://www.animatedknots.com/rapala/index.php?LogoImage=LogoGrog.jpg&Website=www.animatedknots.com

For the others you mentioned I use this http://www.marinews.com/Locked-Half-Blood-Knot-334.php

The purpose of a loop knot is so the knot is not restricting the action of the bait. On certain lures you don’t want the knot to move around so you use the second one

I found the polymer knot to be effective. I’ll also use a knot of my own making for light line.

I second the Palomar knot. It is simple and does not nick the line up at all. It may be hard to tie this will little openings though. When in doubt, just put a dab of superglue on the knot.

Palomar is the knot I use 98% of the time. I use a "tweaked" improve clinch knot when spooling my reel with new line. I use a uni to uni knot for tying leader to main line.

i use the palomar for every bait as long as its braided line. if im using flouro (6lb for them eagle eyed trout)i just use the ole tried and true 6 turn "fishermans knot. i loop the line through the eye twice to give it more contact area, wrap the free end around the running end 6 times, back through the bottom loop (by the hook eye), then through the top loop give her a tug, slobber on it to make it cinch tight, then finish it off.

i use palomar knots for most of those except for drop shot, and sinkers, because i never use them. for tying to eyelets that i can’t pull the line through twice, i use the improved clinch knot. for joining, two lines, i have been using the surgeons knot.
