The Trilene Knot has several names. These titles include “Double Clinch Knot” and “Default Knot.” A strong and reliable fishing knot that is effective at tying monofilament or fluorocarbon line to swivels, hooks, poppers and bait. It is known that the fishing line retains approximately 85-90% of its original strength. When the diameter of the eye is larger than that of the line, the retention capacity increases further. It is resistant to slipping and malfunctions. It is an excellent and stronger alternative to the rivet knot.
The knot can be considered a "100% knot" because the rope usually breaks above its rated strength, not at the knot. In this regard, it is equal to the strong Palomar Knot, although Palomar is far superior in braiding and superlines. It was researched and developed by the Berkley fishing tackle company and is recommended by them to tie their monofilaments. It is one of the best fishing knots to use because of its performance.
You can use this knot with hooked fishing rods and be sure to catch plenty of fish. Anyone who fishes, whether for fun or sport, loves a knot that allows for a variety of attachments to lures, poppers, or lures. This makes it a popular knot used by many people. This knot retains up to 90% of its original strength after you throw the line into the water and catch a few fish. Less rod breakage means you can spend more time fishing.

Alternate Nodes
Improved Rivet knot – A weaker replacement skips the first pair of knots and uses an extra knot on the final turn.
Clinch knot - Even weaker, used primarily in peer-to-peer connections.
Single knot – Easy to tie and reliable for joining monofilament to terminal assembly.
Nanofil knot – Essentially a pair of Palomar knots.
