Trilene Knot: A highly recommended very strong knot.
Insert tag end through eye; reinsert tag end back through eye forming a double loop. Double strands that pass through eye should not cross or overlap.
Wrap tag end around standing line; make 6 turns with light line (2-6 lb.), 5 turns with medium line (8-12 lb.), 4 turns with heavy line (14-20 lb.).
Pass tag end through double loop at eye formed in Step 1.
Maintain tension on tag end; draw knot tight by pulling on standing line; trim tag end.
Palomar Knot: Offers maximum strength and versatility.
To tie the palomar knot, bend the line back on itself to form a double strand 6 inches long.
Next, pass this double strand through the hook eye and tie a loose overhand knot, leaving a loop deep enough so the hook (or lure) can pass through it.
Pass the hook through the loop.
Then tighten the knot by pulling on the hook with one hand and the double strand of line with the other. Trim the tag end.
Improved Clinch Knot: An old standby.
Insert tag end through eye leaving at least 6 inches of line to tie the knot. Wrap tag end around standing line; make 6 turns with light line (2-6 lb), 5 turns with medium line (8-12 lb.), 4 turns with heavy line (14-20 lb.).
Pass tag end through loop formed at eye.
Insert tag end back through second loop formed in Step 2.
Maintain tension on tag and draw knot tight by pulling on standing line; trim tag end.
