Fishing Knots

There are a great number of knots that fisherman use to attach fishing line to hooks, lures and different sizes of line. To name a few knots that are probably well known to each of you but there maybe some new fisherman out there reading about knots for the first time and they are: Improved Clinch Knot, Palomar Knot, Surgeon’s Knot and Uni-Knot. Let us look at each of these knots.

Improved Clinch Knot

The improved clinch knot is used to tie fishing line to fishing lures, hooks, swivel and artificial flies. If you learn to tie only one knot, this is the one I suggest to learn. Once you have this knot accomplished you can attach your fishing line to any hook, lure and even another line.

Palomar Knot

This knot is used for attaching fishing line to hooks, lures, swivel and so on. This knot is good for all kinds of light fishing lines. It retains 80 to 85 % of the original line strength, even monofilaments. It is nearly impossible to pull out. With practice, this knot can be tied in the dark or with cold hands.

Surgeon’s Knot

The surgeon’s knot is a modification of the reef knot. It has an added twist to one of the lines to add more friction to the knot. It is used in fly fishing in tying quilts. The surgeon’s knot can fail if one of working ends pulls away from the standing end closest to the knot.

Uni-Knot 

The uni knot is a multi purpose knot in fishing and can be used to fix the line to the arbor of the reel, joining lines and attaching lures, hooks and so on to your line. The knot works well with all monofilament lines and retains 85 to 90 % the breaking strength.

I personal use the Improved Clinch Knot as my preferred knot for all the knots that I need.

        I have used the palomar for years and it is snrtog and easy to tie. The only thing negative I have found is it’s large size. I bottom fish with heavy #80 flouro. It puts a rather large hole in the bait which makes it easy for the fish to remove the bait. I have been trying the snell knot lately with good results. The only thing I don’t like is the tendency for the snell to loosen up. Wonder about the possibility of putting a dab of superglue on the knot?
