How to Tie Fishing Knots

Folks learning how to tie fishing knots usually start with the Simple Clinch Knot. It is probably the most used knot in fishing. It is a strong and easy knot to tie and it is ideal for attaching line and leaders to swivels and hooks.

1. Put about 6 inches of the line through the hook's eye. Wrap the tag end back down around the line six times. Put the end through the opening directly about the hook's eye.

2. Pull the knot tight. On heavier leaders, you will need to slide the knot down using your fingers.

3. The knot should slide tight over the hooks eye and should not be wrapped over the top of itself.

And that’s it. You are ready to tangle with that trophy bass. Thanks for reading.

Good Fishing.
