To become a real professional fisherman, you need to learn how to properly tie fishing knots. Having tied the wrong knot, you can get trapped, as the fish will drag the baited hook under the water. To practice tying knots, it is best to use a regular rope. Follow our step-by-step instructions for tying fishing knots. In it we will teach you how to knit basic fishing knots.
Instructions
Step 1
The first knot we will learn to tie is called the Peak End.
Start with a 360-degree turn of the line. Make sure the free end of the line points away from the folded hook. In this case, the hook should lie on the line. Wrap the outside of the loop around the hook about 7-8 times. Pull the tip of the line near the folded hook, the knot is ready.
Step 2
The next knot is "Shock" for undergrowth.
Tie an edge knot in the underbrush, pass a light line through the loop of the resulting knot. Tighten the edge knot more firmly. Wrap light line around the underbrush 6 times and thread the free end of the line through the first loop at the edge knot. Pull on the main line while holding the underbrush. Pull until the knot closes. The knot should be well tightened, cut off unnecessary ends of the fishing line.
Step 3
Now we will learn to tie a "Double edge loop".
Make a loop at the end of your line. Then, on the loop made, tie an edge knot. Add another extra twist to the loop and tighten the knot.
Step 4
The next knot is the Half-Blood Closed Knot. It is suitable for tying eye hooks.
Thread the line through the eye of the hook. Twist the free end and main line together with 3-6 turns. Thread the free end of the line through the first loop. The more load is needed on the line, the more turns. Pull lightly on the line you started knitting with. Close the knot by passing the free end of the line through the free loop that has formed on top of the knot. Tighten the knot as tight as possible.
Step 5
Grinner node.
Pass the line through the eye of the hook and make an edge knot. Add 3-4 turns to the edge knot. Pull on both ends to tighten the knot.
We have reviewed the knots that are most popular with fishermen. After practicing on the string, move on to knitting fishing hooks from the fishing line.
