Getting started got you tied up in knots?
Here are a few pointers to get you on the fish quickly.
The most popular way to tie a hook or lure to your line is an improved clinch knot. This knot is extremely strong and can be mastered very easily.
Here’s how you do it:
1. Pass the end of the line through the hook or swivel eye once and pull it back towards the main line.
2. Make five turns or “S” twists with the free end of the line around the main line.
3. Pass the end of the line between the eye and the first loop formed.
4. Bring the end through the large loop just formed and slowly pull tight while holding the free end by your thumb and forefinger.
5. After pulling tight, cut off any extra line coming out of the knot.
