What’s the best knot to use to tie the hook on the end of a fishing line, and how do you make it?
Posted In: Fishing Knot by admin
It’s just 6- or 10-pound test on a light freshwater pole and I used to know how to make one, but don’t remember anymore, or even what type it was. But I’m not looking necessarily for that specific knot – just something strong enough for maybe a nice-sized bass, (if I’m really lucky!) but not too complicated to make. Also, I’ll probably just put on a small swivel and replace the hooks there, when necessary, rather than having to tie a new one (hook) directly on the line every time, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance, for the help. : )

Another choice is the Palomar Knot.

I am not sure of the name of the knot but I can tell you how to make it.
- run the line through one end of the swivel
- take the side of the line with the end on it and wrap it around the other side of the line 3-4 times.
- now there will be a little loop at the bottom of the line by the swivel, run your cut end of the line through that.
- now you will run the cut end inbetween the twoo sections of line
- what i mean here is the twisted side and the single line side
- pull on the end of the line as you pull the swivel the other way
- when tight push down on the knot until it is small and up tight on the swivel.
- cut off extra line

The ‘Trilene knot’ works very well, is strong and easy to tie.
Here’s a link with animated knot tying that makes it even simpler.

The Palomar is one of the strongest knots. I’ve seen the improved clinch fail.
