Step 1
One of the most popular fishing knots is the so-called "eight". Compared to other existing options, it practically does not deform the fishing line, and therefore the use of this method of tying fishing knots is a kind of guarantee that the fishing line will not be damaged during the fishing process.
Step 2
In order to tie a figure eight, pass the running end of the line through the ring of the fishing hook, wrap it around the forend and put it back into the ring. As a result of these simple actions, you should get a closed loop. Wrap the running end around the root end and loop it through the loop that wraps around the fishhook forend. After tightening the knot, the running and root ends of the line should be on one side of the ring.
Step 3
The fishing knot "Palomar" has won no less popularity among modern fishermen. It is ideal for tying lures and hooks to thin or medium-sized fishing lines. In order to tie this knot correctly, fold the line in half, insert the resulting loop into the ring of the hook, tie the ring with it with a regular knot and pass the end of the loop into the forend of the hook. Tighten the knot firmly and cut off any protruding ends of the line.
Step 4
The "bloody" fishing knot is considered quite simple in execution. It owes its terrifying name to its use as a weapon to punish guilty sailors during the time of Columbus. Coming into contact with the bare backs of the unfortunate, the fishing knot left bloody wounds on them.
Step 5
Tying a bloody fishing knot is not difficult at all. To do this, thread the line through the hook ring, wind its running end around the main line 4-8 times (the thinner the line, the more turns). Pass the line through the loop formed next to the hook ring and tighten the knot by pulling on the short end of the line.
Step 6
Regardless of the method chosen, the correct tying of the fishing knot involves following some important rules. So, experienced fishermen advise to wet the fishing knot before tightening it. According to them, performing this action eliminates the weakening of the fishing line during the fishing process.
Step 7
Anglers also recommend not jerking the knot. The fact is that a sudden jerk can lead to irreversible deformation of the line, and therefore, its weakening. Tighten the fishing knot carefully, slowly, with a uniform load.
