Improved clinch, but it's hard to tighten down on higher line weights.

Palomar. But I only use Seaguar floro. 40# and up I use needlenose to help cinch it down.

Palomar, Never had one fail, but on some of the stiffer lines you really have to work to snug it down properly.

I'm also using mirage and tying palomar knots. No failures or issues of any sort. Just make sure to wet it good before cinching it down and get it good and tight. Even the 60 and 80# tie easily. Great stuff!

Palomar and improved clinch knots. I had an old hacksaw laying around and I lopped off the wooden handle for it. For eel rigs I slip the swivel into a small nail and then take the handle and it snugs right up with the curve in my hooks then I just pull it tight. How are your palomars failing? You getting teh curly q thinggie?

They have been failing with only a squiggly end remaining. I have been snugging them down with pliers, wetting them with spit, and pulling the eel hooks from a nail in my wall to synch the knot. This is with the 80# flouro.

IMO 80# test is overkill, and may be the cause of your problems.
