How to Tie a Fishing Knot

That is probably the number one question I get asked by kids I take fishing and adults new to the fishing sport. Since I have been fishing for so long it just comes as second nature to me and probably you.

What about different fishing situations, what knot to use then. Do you want more action from a top water bait? Do you want a good knot for big game fishing. How do you tie a loop knot? There are many applications when many different types of knots may be required.

I have researched several sites on the Internet to try to find an easy method for learning different types of knots and found a great site to illustrate and explain most of the common knots which should cover all the bases. This site also provides a Fishing Knot Card which I have found to be invaluable.

The Pro-Knot Fishing Knot Card and the Fisherman’s Ultimate Knot Guide (very reasonably priced). The cards are water proof cards with diagrams of various knots as well as detailed instructions and illustrations, it is a great tool for all kinds of knots, best of all they float. I personally have three cards, 1 in my boat, 1 in my tackel box and 1 in my truck. While I do not use the card on every outing I am surprised how often I actually pull out the card just as a simple reminder of that one knot I just don’t remember exactly how to tie.

Things to remember when tying a fishing knot

1. Keep the line moist
2. Insure the knot is snug
3. Insure there are no abrasions from tying the knot once complete
4. Cut the tag end of the knot as close as possible to the knot, not so close it unravels the knot.
5. Re-tie after every fish

Check out pro Knot Website and get a few cards. you will be surprised how often you use them.
