At one stage most of my fishing was done with lures. One of the knots I use is the blood knot. I also use this for attaching bait hooks...never bothered trying another knot.

I almost always snell my baited hooks

and tend to use a rapala knot ( loop knot ) on my lures

and a form of slim beauty for braid to leader most of the time

swivels get a blood knot or a uni depending on how I feel

Bait hooks I snell especially the double hook rig I use a centauri knot for the snap swivel. Works for me

Uni knot is great for all bait applications. Palomar is a great knot too. If fishing salt with big baits, I use two snell knots, bottom one fixed top one movable but for fresh and a single hook uni knot.
Tight lines = Good Times!

Use to use Uni Knot but have been using a Palomar knot of late and it works great.
I have also been trying a loop knot for shrimp and yabbies to give them more movement.
I use a loop knot for all my lures. I use to use a snap swivel but have found the action of the lure was affected if fishing small lures.

Ahh I lied. I use Three knots not two :)

Palomar as well. But I only use this for dropshotting - in order to present the plastic at 90 degrees to the leader or if I want to add a smaller plastic above a larger one running on a jighead.

I learnt the palomar knot a couple of months ago, and haven't used anything else since.

I use a clinch with extra kind of thread through for swivels etc (improved clinch??), rapala for lures and blood usually for braid to leader but uni if I cant feel my fingers. Occasionally palomar if im not using running sinker, and snell always for bait hook, but dont do a lot of bait fishing.

They're all good knots that won't let ya down if tied properly.
The secret is to tie em properly, so use the one you can tie best.
