Slide the loops toward the eye of the hook and then put the end of the
line through the loop above the eye. Put the line through the loop that
is created by the coiled line and pull tight by pulling both ends of
the lines but make sure you keep the coils flat. Every time you get a
bite it tightens the cinch knot.
Uni Knot
The uni knot is both strong and versatile. Start by running the line
through the eye of the hook and bringing the end back toward the eye.
Twist the line six times around the line below the eye and the wind the
bottom of the fishing line around the doubled part of the line. Pull
the end of the line tight to slide the knot close to the eye.
Swivel Knot
The swivel knot is normally tied to a double line, lead line or hook.
The swivel line lets you tie the hooks or weight onto a separate line
and is the perfect choice when fishing for large species. Start by
running a double line through the eye of a swivel hook and twist the
loop one time and up over the swivel hook.
Flip the swivel into the loop and hold the double line while pulling
the swivel tight. Make sure the coils are straight while pulling them
tight. You do not want them to overlap as this will weaken the knot.
Now you need to pull the double line and tighten the knot up against
the swivel and you are ready to fish.
There are many different types of fishing knots and each one works
better for different types of fishing. Some have more durability than
others when it comes to the hold and some are easier to tie than
others. Learning how to tie the basic knots listed above will help you
get started tying secure knots that can help you save on hooks and
lures while reeling in those fish.
