What type of line are you using?
Braided line always gets a palomar knot. clinch knots will slip
Fluorocarbon and Mono as a leader get a clinch knot
Fluorocarbon and Mono as a main line will typically get a palomar unless the lure is large and/or has a lot of treble hooks.
With all knots be sure to get the knot close to the eye of the bait before cinching. Wet your knots to not burn the line. If you see curls in your line you need to re-tie.
Personally i am throwing spinnerbaits on a baitcaster setup with 14# fluorocarbon main line and use a palomar knot exclusively.
