Fishing Knots
1. Figure 8 Knot
One of the fastest knots to tie, the Figure 8 works best with braids,
multi-strand wire lines and heavier mono. While the knot offers speedy
lure changes, it is not the strongest knot available.
2. Improved Clinch Knot
One of the most poplular knots there is; dependable, strong and super
easy to tie. A solid choice for mono and flouros, not recommended for
super lines.
3. Jansik Special
A vitually unknown knot, but deserving of more attention, the Jansik
Special is super easy to tie with a little practice and very strong;
excellent knot for mono.
4. Eye Crosser Knot
A strong knot that works well with super lines, mono and fourcarbons,
and a favorite a number of southern bass anglers, the Eye Crosser knot
is relatively unknown and that's too bad because it is a great knot.
5. Duncan Loop (Uni Knot)
This is a very versatile knot, that's also strong and easy to tie. Many
anglers turn to the Duncan Loop whe they want a loop connection for
lures like jigs or crankbaits. The knot tightens during a fight with a
fish, but can be easily reopend by the angler.
6. Trilene Knot
Developed by the folks at Berkley for use with thei monofilments, the
Trilene Knot offers true 100% break strength with mono, and is easy to
tie. Not the a good choice for super lines, however.
7. World's Fair Knot
Unveiled at the 1982 Knoxville World's Fair by Gary Martin of Indiana,
the World's Fair knot is a bit complicated to tie, but a super knots for
monos and fluoros.

A simple knot to tie, even at night, and one of the best knots for all
lines. Best tip for tying the Palamar is to pay special attention when
