The basics of fishing: a fishing knot and its varieties

Modern lovers of fishing need to solve a lot of tasks both before the beginning, and in the process of catching fish. When a person provides himself with all the gear, he should know how to handle them properly. Any self-respecting expert in this field knows how to knit knots on fishing. With their help, you can connect fishing lines, tie a hook or install a shock-leader.

The main types of fishing knots

The line is an integral part of the occupation, like fishing. Nodes for its binding vary in function and application, but there are several main groups in which there are many varieties.

Nodes for binding hooks

There is one simple and reliable fishing knot for tying a hook - an "improved clinch", but it is not recommended for pleats or phytocarbonate lines. To try it in the case, you just need to pass a fishing line with a diameter of no more than 4 mm in the hook, leaving the working end 8-9 mm long and wrapping it at least 5 times the tensioned thread. Then it is necessary to pass it first to the formed loop near the hook, then to the one that was formed after that. Then pull the fishing line, thereby creating the final shape of the knot, and, moistening it with saliva, fix it, pushing to the hook, after which you need to remove the excess, leaving a safe 1.5-2 mm.

Nodes for linking timber

Consider such a fishing knot with the example of a reliable and compact "Albright Knot", which easily passes through the access rings of the rod, which will reliably attach to the main line of the shock leader. With it, you can connect 2 threads of different diameters. To do this, make a loop of 10 cm thick from the thick line and, holding its base with your fingers, thread a thin thread there and wrap it around, making about 4-5 turns and leaving the tips 12-15 cm long. Then gently tighten the ends, after having moistened the threads Saliva. Be sure to trim the excess, leaving 1.5-2 mm of fishing line, so that you can fix this fishing knot, if it weakens.

Wobblers

When catching predatory fish , wobblers are often used as bait. Its location on the line should not be constrained, so that it can move freely in the water. Solve this problem will help the fishing hub "Rapala". At the beginning of mating, you need to twist the line once, leaving a length of 15-17 cm, which should be stretched in a wobbler ring. Then draw the free part into the formed loop, thereby forming the working end at 15 cm. It must be passed into the middle of the straight knot and wrapped in the main thread 4-5 times. After that, tighten the loop at the wobbler, leaving 1-1,5 cm and letting the working end into the middle of the big knot, moisten the knot with saliva, then finally fix it, while pulling up the main and the remaining part of the line.

Other types of fishing knots

In addition to the above types, there are also: knots for hooks with blades, stoppers (restraints for floats) and auxiliary for the side leash. They help fishermen to solve many other tasks, the main thing in this business is to choose the most suitable thickness of the line.
