Looking for the strongest knot to attach 30lb braid to a swivel ? ::)

Look up Palomar knot, apparently it's the cats whiskers, but otherwise, use a 8 to 10 turn Uni knot. Both are easy to tie.

I was thinking along those lines what about a locked blood knot do they hold when there's a big fish on

G'day

Not the best choice with braid, learn and use the palomar

I would be using a short double with a bimini twist in the braid first - then a polamar to the swivel.
