Tying common fishing knots used locally is the one part of
fishing tackle that the angler has complete control over. You
can buy the best rod and reel and slap on the hottest lure, but
with a poorly tied knot it will all go for naught, so to speak
........................:-) a successful angler will know enough
knots for any situation, but only enough - never too many. Pick
your knots and practice them until you can tie them under the
worst conditions - in low light on a pitching boat with your
hand slippery with fish slime. Once you can do that, you're
ready to go.
General Knot Tying Notes:
Lubricate knots:Before
you tighten a knot, lubricate it with saliva or by dipping it in
the water. This will help the knot slide and seat properly.
Lubrication also decreases excessive heat which dramatically
weakens monofilament. Heat is generated by the friction created
when knots are drawn up tight.
Seat the knot:Tighten knots with a steady, continuous
pull. Make sure the knot is tight and secure. After it is tied,
pull on the line and leader to make sure it holds. It is better
to
test it now than when a fish is on.
Trim neatly:Use nippers to trim the material as close as
possible without nicking or damaging the knot.
