Knots You Need To Know (Part 2)

Last week we introduced to you one of the common knots you'll use in your fishing expiditions, the Arbor Knot. This week we bring to you the most popular knot... the Improved Clinch Knot.

These knots are the most popular for attaching hooks, swivels, snaps, lures, flies and sinkers on alight line.

The Improved Clinch Knot

STEP 1
Pass the line throught he eye of the hook and wrap the tag end around the standing line five times.

STEP 2
Bring the tag end back and pass it through the loop you created above the eye.

STEP 3
Now pass the tag end back through the big loop.

STEP 4
Moisten the knot area with a bit of saliva. Hold the tag end in one hand, the standing line in the other and pull slowly at the same time. Slide the coils tight with your fingernail. Clip the tag end.
