Easy fishing knots to learn
A Uni knot has the appearance of a hangman’s noose, although a uni knot’s internal structure differs from a hangman’s noose. Uni knots often join two lines. In such cases, they are called the double grinner or the double uniknot. The line or leader remains in line with the hook shank here.
Pass the line through the eye of the hook, and make a loop. According to studies, it is 50% weaker than its improved version, which explains its poor performance in landing huge catches. It’s also more likely to come undone. Put the line through the hook eye and make a loop with the tag end. Cut the excess tail of the fishing line at the knot. Pull the end of the line and the hook until the knot is tight.
It’s easier to trim than stretch the line. Pass the end of the line through the eye of the hook twice, creating a loop that hangs alongside the hook. Pass the loose end of the monofilament above the center strand of monofilament and below the wire line, then pull snug. Wrap the second around the first at least five times, and bring both loose ends back to the middle between the two lines. Thread the loose end of the line through the loop closest to the eye, then back around inside the loose section of line.
Finish the knot by clipping any extra line above it to about 1/8 of an inch. Palomar knot is a simple-to-tie knot. Anglers use it for attaching a line to a hook or a fly to a leader or tippet.
Different situations call for different knots. The knots needed for tying fishing line to a hook are different from the knots needed to join two sections of line together. One needs to be careful when fastening a uni knot tight. As one keeps tightening it, the knot goes through a transformation. The outer wraps of the knot gradually become internal, whereas the inner wraps become external.

Make sure the hook is hanging at the bottom of the line. Use the Orvis knot as a strong and easy alternative to the clinch knot. I usually use the improved clinch knot. Easier for me, especially if I have a smaller hook, and I dont have to pinch, bite or sqeeze the line to make it small enough to go thru the hook head. Fold over the end of the line to make a double line, then tie a single overhand knot.
Refreshed my memory, bin a while since i done knots thanks. I use the blood knot to reload my spool when it gets to the halfway point. Run your monofilament line through the middle of the bend, then wrap it once around the bottom of the bend. Fold four inches of wire line back over itself to form a bend at the end of the line. Pull tight on each line until the knot is snug.
