    The document provides instructions for tying several common fishing knots: 1) The Arbor Knot is used to attach fishing line to a reel spool with two overhand knots. 2) The Palomar Knot is one of the easiest and strongest knots for attaching a hook, using an overhand knot and loop passed through the hook eye. 3) The Improved Clinch Knot uses five turns and passing the tag end through two loops to attach line to a hook in a secure "fisherman's knot."

    The passage describes several common fishing knots - the Arbor, Palomar, Improved Clinch, Simplified Blood, Double Surgeon's Loop and Snelled knots - and provides instructions for tying each one.

    The Arbor, Palomar, Improved Clinch, and Snelled knots are described. The Arbor knot is used to attach line to a reel spool. The Palomar is one of the easiest and strongest knots for attaching lures or bait to the line. The Improved Clinch knot is used to attach a hook or swivel to the line. The Snelled knot makes a strong connection when fishing with bait on a separate leader.

    The Simplified Blood Knot is mostly used to join two lines together of about the same diameter. It involves tying an overhand knot in the two lines, then wrapping one line around the other in a specific way before pulling the lines tightly.

    Arbor Knot
    Quick, easy connection for attaching line to the reel spool. 1. 2. 3. 4. Pass the line around the reel arbor (spool). Tie an overhand knot around the main line. Tie a second overhand knot in the tag (loose) end. Pull the knot in the tag end tight and clip off the excess line.

    Snug down the first overhand knot on the reel.

    Palomar Knot
    The easiest to tie and the strongest knot known to hold terminal tackle. 1. Double 4 inches of line to form a loop and pass the loop through the eye of the fishing hook. Let the hook hang loose. Tie an overhand knot in the doubled line. Dont twist or tighten line. Pull the loop far enough to pass it completely over the hook. Wet the line. Hold the hook carefully, and pull the loose end with the standing line slowly to tighten the loose end.

    Improved Clinch Knot


    An old standby known as the fishermans knot. 1. 2. 3. 4. Pass the line through the hook eye and, with the tag end, make 5 turns around the standing line. Insert the loose end of the line between the eye and the first loop formed. Bring the end through the large second loop formed. Wet the line and tighten the knot slowly while holding the loose end of the line end between thumb and index finger so the knot is partly closed before its secured against the eye.

    Clip the loose end of the line.

    Simplified Blood Knot


    Mostly used to join two lines together of about the same diameter. 1. 2. 3. 4. Take the two lines ends and tie an overhand knot (this knot will be clipped off later). Tighten to combine the two lines into one. Form a loop where the two lines meet, with the overhand knot in the loop. Pull one side of the loop down and begin taking turns with it around the standing line. Keep point where turns are made open so turns gather equally on each side. After eight to ten turns, reach through center opening and pull remaining loop (and overhand knot) through. Keep finger in this loop so it will not spring back. Hold loop with your teeth and pull both ends of line, making turns gather on either side of loop. Set knot by pulling lines tightly as possible.Tightening coils will make loop stand out perpendicular to line.

    Then clip off the loop and overhand knot close to the newly formed knot.

    Double Surgeons Loop


    Quick, easy way to tie a loop in the end of a leader; often used as part of a leader because its relatively strong. 1. Double the end of line to form a loop and tie an overhand knot at the base of double line. Leave the loop open in the knot and bring the double line through again. Hold the main line and tag end and pull the loop to tighten the knot. The size of the loop can be determined by pulling the loose knot to the desired point, and holding it while the knot is tightened.

    2. 3.

    Clip end 1/8 from knot.

    Snelled Knot
    Makes a strong connection when fishing with bait and using a separate length of leader. 1. 2. 3. 4. Thread the line through hook eye about 6 inches. Hold line against hook shank and form a circle. Make 5 or 6 wraps through loop and around line and shank. Close the knot by pulling on tag end of the line.

    Tighten by pulling on main line in one direction and the hook in the other.
