With braided lines it's not just strenght, but with regular knots they slip and the tag in slides through, not shure if the polamar knot is the same as this one i use? but take the rivers inlet knot, but instead of pulling it tight and trimming the loop and tag end drop the hook or swival through the loop and then pull it tight and all you trim is the tag end, the knot will not break, just make sure to pull evenly and snug up all lines, doug
