Tie a Knot on a Hook
Many first time fishermen struggle with the most important step of fishing. Once you know the correct way to tie a knot to a hook, it isn't so tricky.
Steps
- Take your fishing line and stick it through the hole in the hook. Pull out a foot of line on the other side
- Use the line you pulled through the hook and twist it around the line on the other side of the hook 6-8 times.
- Find the small opening on the top of the hook. After twisting you will stick the free end through the small loop you have created.
- Once that is completed, when you pull the line through the hoop you will notice you have created a larger loop.
- Push the line through the larger loop. Grab the line coming from the pole and the line coming out of the loop.
- Pull tight and it will create a secure knot!
- Grab the line coming from your pole and your hook. Pull to make sure your knot is secure.
- Cut the extra line off and you are ready to fish!
Warnings
- At all times make sure your line is pulled tight while creating this knot to prevent tangled up line.
