Fishing Knots

Sharp hooks and strong knots are a big key to catching fish. You should always retie your knot every time out. Also sharpen hooks twice a year, depending on how much fishing you do. Better safe then sorry! Here are the main knots I use when I go fishing.

3. Double-Uni Knot





4. Canoe Knot



The bobber fisherman uses a slip bobber for casting and general handiness, and stops the bobber from running up the line by using the Slip Stop. It has the advantage that the stops moves readily over the rod guides, but grips the monofilament nylon tightly that it will not slide over the line. It should be made with about 5 inches of nylon, usually the same diameter as the line itself.
