The main criteria for a good fishing knot are simplicity and reliability. There are many ways to tie a fish hook to a line, but only three options are most popular with modern fishermen.
It is necessary
- - fishing line;
- - fishing hook;
- - scissors.
Instructions
Step 1
Beginner anglers often do not immediately think about finding the best way to tie a hook. Most at the first stages of mastering the art of fishing are interested exclusively in the ultimate goal of fishing - the catch. However, at least once having got into a situation when a rather large bream or even carp comes off the coast, a beginner still begins to look for the most suitable and reliable node.
Step 2
The Palomar knot is considered popular among modern fishing lovers, the main advantage of which is its real simplicity, and the disadvantage of using it exclusively for a hook with a ringlet.
Step 3
Take a line and fold a small section of it in half. Thread the resulting double section through the eye of the fish hook, and then make a regular knot out of it, but do not rush to tighten it. Pass the hook itself through the loop formed, moisten the area of the fishing line close to it and tighten the knot tightly. As a result of these simple actions, the hook is tightly tied to the fishing line.
Step 4
Despite the simplicity of this method of tying, it is very problematic to apply it to fishhooks with numbers above the 14th. The fact is that it can be very difficult, and sometimes even impossible, to thread a double line through a small eyelet. From this we can conclude that the Palomar knot is perfect for tying large fish hooks equipped with a ring.
Step 5
An equally popular way of tying a hook with a ring to a fishing line is considered to be the "eight" method among anglers. Make a ring out of the line and pass the end of the line through it 3-4 times. Pull on the opposite ends of the line and pull the resulting ring until it turns into a kind of "eight". Next, slide the forend of the hook through both sides of the resulting shape. The node is ready. It remains only to cut off the extra end of the line.
Step 6
To tie a fishing hook to a shovel, many fishermen use a "strap" knot. Place the line parallel to the shank of the hook, firmly grasping the spatula and the line that touches it, and create the first loop. Next, make 5-10 turns around the forend with line. Lay them very neatly next to each other, avoiding overlaps. Wrap the hook towards the shoulder blade.
Step 7
After completing these steps, pass the end of the line into the first loop (closest to the hook) and pull firmly on both ends of the line. As a result, a knot is formed. Expand it so that the main part of the line is over the shoulder blade and pull again. Cut off the excess end of the line. For maximum strength and reliability, drip a drop of waterproof adhesive onto the assembly.
