What knot should one use with the heavier tip up line? Sorry I don't know the name. I'm pretty new to ice fishing and bought a few tip ups from Crappy Tire last winter. The line is thick black stuff, like nylon or something. I am finding it difficult to tie a secure knot to attach it to a swivel. Tried the improved clinch, failed miserably (at home, not with a fish on, thankfully). Tried a palomar knot as well - it's okay but doesn't seem that secure. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks.

Those two knots work fine with Dacron.
Dacron will rot over time especially if stored wet, so maybe it's the line ?

I agree with EEF. Both those knots should work fine. I use the improved clinch for that line and never had a problem.

Thanks guys. It's dacron. Maybe I am just bad at tying! Actually, now that I think of it, I tied the regular clinch. Should do the extra step and go with an improved clinch. Will try that.
Thanks again.

Re: knot for tip up line
I first started with the split screen with flasher and sonar but gave up on the flasher part, very finnky to set up.
The sonar was not that hard to set up but gave very good results. The only problem I encountered was interference from my sons flasher as were in a two man clam
