There are many different types of
fishing knots available to fishermen, but none may be more important than the fishing knots that enable two pieces of fishing line to be tied together. This is especially true for fly fishermen who have to tie their leader to their fly line, but this fact is true for spin fishermen as well who often need to tie two pieces of monofilament fishing line together. In this quick article I will list a couple of the best knots for accomplishing this task.
If you are a fisherman who spends more than a "little time" on the water chasing fish, these two knots need to be added to your fishing arsenal. You'll be amazed at how often these knots are needed for various fishing situations.
The Nail Knot - This knot can be a bit difficult to learn, but is a great knot to join fly line to leader, which is obviously a "must" for fly fishermen. The use of a small plastic (hollow) tube in place of a nail is an effective way to go. Small hollow tubes can be found at most any fly fishing shop. The bottom line is that a nail knot is a great way to join your fly line to your leader.
The Blood Knot - The blood knot is a wonderful way to tie two pieces of fishing line together. The only caveat to this is that the two pieces of fishing line should be approximately the same diameter. When it comes to
fishing knots and mono filament fishing line this knot is perfect for tying two pieces of fishing line together. When you least expect it, this fishing knot will seem like a godsend.
The Double Uni-knot - This is any easy and reliable knot to join two pieces of fishing line. Many anglers say this is the easiest of these three knot choices to tie on the water. Once mastered, this knot will serve you well for the rest of your fishing life. This knot is great for both braided and mono filament fishing lines.
Depending on your favorite style of fishing, one of these three fishing knots is certainly the best way to tie two pieces of fishing line together. Whether you are a trout, bass, fisherman, or all three these three fishing knots should be practiced and mastered sooner rather than later. The bottom lines is that these knots will serve you well as a fisherman.
