I use the Palomar with all of my braid terminal connections and have never had a failure. For jig use, I also like to use an Improved Clinch, but I like to double up the line and then tie the knot as Abu Loomis does for braid. I have found this extra loop causes the knot to stay tighter on the eye of the jig. Allowing it to stay in the "cocked" position longer.
