A fishing knot for a hook. Fishing knots for hooks and leashes
Not only a beginner, but an experienced angler shouldbe able to knit fishing knots. After all, this is a very important and integral part of such art as fishing. If you do not know how to tie a hook and other gear, then do not even poke a nose on a serious, and frivolous fishing. Learn to knit knot for a hook, leash and other gear will not be difficult. The main thing is to find some free time for training and to have patience. We offer you to familiarize yourself with the main types of fishing knots.
Hook attachment with shovel
If you need to tie a hook with a shovel, then use a whip knot. And it is formed as follows.
- First we make a loop, put it on the fore-end of the hook, while leaving a 6-centimeter free end.
- Next, add a loop to the end of the line, make about 8 loops around the loop, let the loop through the loop.
- We wet the knot.
- Now hold the free end and pull the leash so that the knot tightens firmly enough. It should be noted that the line must pass from the inside of the hook.
Knots for hooks and leashes
If you want to become an authoritative fisherman amongfamiliar, it is necessary to learn to knit at least a dozen of the most common knots. Having become acquainted with the presented ways of tying the hook to the line, you will understand that the strength of the line is to a certain extent dependent on the selected node, and also the reliability of the tackle. Therefore, it is better to spend time on a more complex site than to lose it in the process of catching.
So, among the main fishing knots used to tie hooks, the following types are distinguished:
- the fishing eight;
- bayonet;
- stepped;
- the Canadian eight;
- tortoise;
- deaf;
- shark's;
- Californian;
- salmon;
- captive;
- tuna.
But to bind leashes you can use such nodes:
- based on a simple node;
- based on the running node;
- on the basis of the snake node;
- roller assembly.
Consider each of these nodes, for some, we will discuss in more detail.
Gripping unit
This knot for a fishing hook is used asmethod of binding two synthetic cables. It is suitable for fishing lines of any kind. In addition, this bundle helps to increase the strength of the line, and therefore is considered the most reliable method of binding. To tie such a knot, you need to twist the loops around the end of the line (root) in a neat spiral to begin with. At the same time, the spiral should be held with your fingers. It is recommended to do five or more such turns. When using a heavy line, the number of turns should be no more than four. Now we are tying the knot in four stages:
- We pass the end of the line through the eye, around the line of the main we make five complete turns;
- The remaining end is drawn back to the first turn and passed next to the eye through the loop;
- under the last turn we pass the end of the line;
- pull and trim the knot, cut the end.
It should be taken into account that the structure of the node changes whenit should be moistened with water and tightened. And pulling the line, the twisted turns regroup the twist so that the inner thread becomes an outer turn. After tightening the end of the line, the knot is pressed against the hook.
The bayonet knot
This node for hook binding isthe simplest. It consists in the use of two half-bayonets, which are made on the fore-end of the hook. The important point is that it can not be used on a synthetic line. If this condition is not adhered to, then the line may break due to strong traction.
The Canadian G8
If you have to deal with a synthetic fishing line, then you can use this knot for the hook. The peculiarity is that it can be untied at any time. It fits like this:
- skip the running end through the hook ring;
- we will fix around forearm;
- again we pass through the ring to form a closed loop;
- then update around the end of the root.
- Now we pass the running end first into the hook ring, and then into the loop formed around the forearm; the running and the root ends must be located on different sides of the ring.
Fisherman's eight
It is a reliable knot for a hook that has an ear. Believe me, if you do everything right, then with such a knot the hook will never untie. We begin to knit a fishing eight, like the Canadian one:
- skip the running end through the hook ring;
- we will fix around forearm;
- again we pass through the ring to form a closed loop;
- then update around the end of the root;
- The end of the runner is passed directly into the loop, which covers the forearm.
As a result of the tightening of the running and the root, the ends are placed on one side of the ring.
Stepped knot
Every fisherman knows that there are such hooks,in which the eye is absent. Using them is problematic due to the fact that it is not so easy to attach to the line. But nevertheless, fishermen believe that this type of hook is more durable. Not every way of tying a knot is suitable for him. Successfully used stepped fishing knots for hooks. In appearance they resemble a protracted snap.
Turtle Knot
In connection with which this node was given such a name,it is difficult to say. With direct designation, it is unlikely to be associated, as sea turtles catch nets or beat harpoons. Tie such a knot for a fishing hook is very simple. It fits for a cotton line. It is not recommended to use for slippery synthetic veins, after all it can untie.
Deaf node
This is the most reliable and at the same time the most simpleFishing knot for the hook in the case when there is a tight loop at the end of the leash. It is only necessary to stretch the end of the line in the eye of the selected hook, to throw it through it so that a blind loop forms. You can apply this kind of node to any type of line. But it is most suitable for cotton and polyamide thin woods. In addition, it is convenient for tying a sinker.
Shark Node
Nodes for tying hooks are complex. This is the site of the shark. The technique of his knitting is as follows: before the introduction of the running end of the line in the loop, it is necessary to bring the hoses made around the running and core ends closer to each other, then tighten them tightly. This method is used exclusively for synthetic wood. The shark nodule increases the strength of the line - this is its distinguishing feature.
California Knot
For the nylon line, the so-calledCalifornian nodes. They were invented by their Californian amateur anglers about thirty years ago. They tie not only hooks, but swivels, and sinkers. This method of knotting is relatively simple, but not very compact. However, after all, this knot for the hook is quite reliable.
Salmon node
If you prefer to use complexfishing knots for hooks, then the salmon option is just for you. Before tightening, it is thrown over the forearm of the hook. Keeps this knot on any line, so it is one of the strongest.
Tunic knot
This knot for the hook differs from other themes,that at the same time two loops grasp the eye of the hook. Despite the complexity of knitting, it is considered the best among the existing knots that are used for synthetic fishing line.
Driving knots
As we indicated earlier, the main four types of such nodes are distinguished:
- A leash node based on a simple node. It is recommended to use it if necessary to quickly change the transverse leashes. To tie it, first you need to make a simple knot that does not drag out to the end. Then the transverse leash, at each end of which the hooks, hold in the middle of the half-node, then around the loop and again into the middle of the half-node. The knot is tightened after aligning the length of both leashes. When it is necessary to tie only one leash to the line, it is necessary to make the figure eight on the opposite end and pull the leash to the end so that the eight rests against a simple knot.
- Leash node based on the running. The transverse leash is tied in this way in the following way: on the line you should make the running simple knot in the necessary place and do not tighten it to the end. Then tighten the figure-eight at the end of the leash, pass this end into the loop of the runner's assembly. After this, tighten the last knot, thereby securely attaching the leash to the line.
- A lead node based on a snake node. Such a node is more complex and at the same time more reliable for linking to the line of the transverse leash. Before you tighten the snake knot on the line, you should end the leash, where the eight is tied, in its middle. Next you need a node. In this case, both parts of the snake node will converge, so that the leash is tightened securely before the figure-eight.
- Leading assembly roller. If you want to tie such a knot, you first need to make a simple knot, insert the end of the leash (running gear) into it. This end is fixed around the fishing line and the end of the leash (root) with the help of a multiple eight. The described fastening is considered quite reliable and uncomplicated.
Now you know, if not all, then much about how fishing knots tie. Good catch!
