Fishing knots

One of the key things that you will need to know before you can successfully fish is how to tie good fishing knots. Fishing knots are used to secure the lure to your line. If you do not have good fishing knots in place, your lure may come unraveled from the line while you are fishing, which can cause the loss of fish and lure. You will also need to use fishing knots to secure rigs to your line, especially in the case of rods using multiple lures on one line.

There are fourteen common types of knots used in fishing, although many people only use the common fishing know known as the trilene knot. This is the knot that ties lures to standard fishing line, and is the first taught to those learning how to fish. The trilene knot is constructed by putting the line through the eye of the lure, wrapping the end of the line around main line several times, then passing the line through the loop that is formed between the wraps around the line and the eye of the lure. Of all of the fishing knots, this is one of the easiest to tie, and typically only takes an experienced fisherman a few seconds to tie this sort of knot. Another benefit of using this knot over other fishing knots is that the knot maintains a great
portion of the original line strength. A factor in this is the size of the eye of the lure, so make certain when selecting your lure, you select lures with eyes slightly larger than the knot size. This will give the greatest amount of strength in the knot.

Another common type of fishing knot used is the uni-knot. This type of knot is very versatile, allowing it to be used in most circumstances. However, unlike the trilene knot, the uni-knot is not known to have the same strength. As strength in fishing knots are extremely important, the trilene knot is more often used to prevent the knot from breaking.Whenever you fish, you should pay close to your fishing knots. While a loose or improperly tied knot will not give out on smaller catches, the large trophy fish may cause improperly tied fishing knots to let loose or break. It is also important to try to avoid tying the same line more than once. If you have crimped line from having been tied, the strength of that section of line is compromised if you tie a second knot with it. You are best off cutting that portion of the line away and starting with fresh line.
