Tying Fishing Knots - Why Learning How To Tie Fishing Knots Is So Important

I have been fishing for more than two decades and in that time have learned how important tying various fishing knots is when you are out of the water fishing. In this article I will outline some of the best reasons I've learned for tying various fishing knots in various fishing situations. When you are out on the water fishing you never know exactly what you are going to encounter and if you only know one way of attaching a piece of terminal tackle, fishing lure, or one length of line to another, you are going to be in trouble.
If you only know one method of attachment for example, what do you do when you switch from worm fishing with gang hooks for trout to fishing a crank bait for bass? In this scenario if you only know one fishing knot you are more than likely using a knot that it much less strong than it should be in one fishing situation or the other. There simply isn't one "magic knot" that will work in all fishing situations, although many anglers tend to think this is the case.
Tying fishing knots is an extremely important skill to have as an angler and knowing at least three different methods of attaching line to tackle is of the utmost importance in my opinion. In reality an angler should know more than three, but three will suffice for most fishing scenarios.
