Fishing Knots - A Fisherman's Guide

Common Fishing Knots Used by Fishermen

Fishing Knots Introduction:
When you decide to go fishing, keep in mind the following:

In choosing a rod and reel to be used in combination, make sure that when secured together they have a balanced feel in your hand. Both your rod and reel should be rated for the same line and lure weights. This assures that you can cast your lure the farthest and have the maximum sensitivity in feeling a fish bite. Now that you have the proper combination of rod, reel and line, make sure that the fishing knots you use to secure your hook, swivel or lure is strong enough to withstand the shock of a fish strike.

Remember! The fishing knot you tie is the weakest point in your line. Good fishing knots will retain more than 90% of the strength, while an improper tied knot will have less than one half of the line strength. The following are common fishing knots used by fishermen:

The average angler needs perhaps no more than three or four basic fishing knots, but these knots relate directly to his mode of fishing. The game fisherman need have little interest in the knots used by the trout fisherman, who, in turn, uses knots that are not necessarily suitable for the bream fisherman.

I suggest that you select only those few knots that are of the greatest use to you, and practise, practise, practise tying them until they become second nature to you. It is most important that you use knots that can be tied in an easily remembered manner. You'll be astonished how a few hours practice with a knot will make for perfection.
