There's nothing wrong with an improved cinch knot but when I tie it and pull it against a palomar, the palomar wins every time. Jimmy Houston has a knot that he ties that is basically an double line improved cinch. It's a booger to tie but it will beat a palomar or the line will break between the knots. I sometimes have problems with PP wrapping around the tip of my rod and if you do try to throw too hard into the wind and get a professional over run, it it is a pain to straighten out. Great sensitivity though.
