Tip #5: Tying Effective Fishing Knots That Won't Break Or Unravel
Very few knots will ever be at 100% of the rated strength for a line. There are many good fishing knots. I always use the improved clinch knot, however, there are others that are just as effective.
One thing that you should keep in mind is that you should always moisten your knots before you pull them tight. They will be much more effective this way. Other things that you can do to tie a better knot include:
• Tighten your knots very slowly.
• Keep an eye out for any weak frays.
• Test every knot by making sure to pull it hard.
These techniques will reduce the chance of a knot failure occurring when you hook into a lunker fish.
