blind knot


If a non-tightening loop is made at the end of the leash; the easiest and most reliable way to attach a fishing hook to it is to thread its end into the eye of the hook and throw it over the hook, forming a blind loop. This method is good for cotton lines and thin polyamide resins. It can also be used if the loop is made of soft wire. In this way it is convenient to tie sinkers to the fishing line.

Rice. 130. Lead based on a simple knot

First you need to tie a simple knot on the fishing line, without tightening it to the end. Draw a cross leash with hooks at each end into the middle of the half-knot, around the loop and back into the middle of the half-knot, as shown in the diagram. After equalizing the length of both leashes, tighten the knot. If you want to tie only one leader to the fishing line, tie a figure eight at the opposite end and pull the leader all the way until the figure eight rests on a simple knot.

Lead based on a running knot (Fig. 131). To tie a cross leash to the fishing line in this way, tie in right place fishing line running a simple knot, but do not tighten it to the end. Tie a figure eight at the end of the leash and pass this end into the loop of the running knot. After tightening the last knot, as shown in Fig. 131, you will securely attach the leash to the fishing line.

Turtle knot - another representative of marine fishing knots. The turtle knot got its name thanks to Australian fishermen who hunt for large and medium-sized fish weighing from four to eighteen kilograms. Of course, due to the size and weight of the fish, the Australians, like other anglers, so that the fish could not break the line, used high-strength line, and in some cases thin twine. They say that using the right bait, these fishermen even caught sea turtles, the weight of which in some cases exceeded the mark of 30 kilograms! Hence the name.

Application of the turtle knot

The turtle knot is mainly used in fishing for catching large fish. This knot is good because, firstly, it securely fixes the hook on a thick fishing line and not twine. Secondly, it preserves and prevents hook breakage, which is quite familiar to anglers. big fish. However, this knot is not recommended for use on a regular, thin fishing line due to the fact that this fishing line is rather slippery and this knot can be untied.

Turtle knot step by step.

  1. We thread a thick fishing line, or twine, into the mounting ring of the hook, tackle.
  2. Making a loop and tying a simple single knot
