Fisherman's Knot
How to tie the Fisherman's Knot
There aren't many uses for the fisherman's knot if fishing isn't a profession or a pastime. However, if a lot of effort is spent pursuing the big one, there is no substitute. By wrapping the line's working end around the standing end numerous times, the fisherman's knot creates a lot of friction. This knot tightens efficiently without sliding due to the slick texture of the fishing line. It's possible that tightening a typical rope will cause too much friction. It is one of the few fishing-line compatible knots. Fly fishing is done using a modified sheet bend. Fisherman's Knot is the best knot for a fishing hook.
Fisherman's Knot Tying Instructions
- Tie a loose Overhand Knot with the working end of one rope around the other rope.
- Repeat with the working end of the second rope around the first rope and tighten both knots.
- Pull the standing parts of both ropes in opposite directions to seat the two knots together.
