Default Favorite knots

not sure if there is a topic or not just wondering what knot/knots you are using. I know different presentations and baits call for different knots but personally i use a palomar for just about everything, mainly because it's fastest knot i can tie and works with mono or braid. Thinking about switching to the reverse clinch. Gonna try to find some knot wars videos and expand my selection.

I wish I could get a fishing knot to tie like the ones I get in my extension cords in the shop! Nothing would get through or away! Dang thing would be like a gill net!
