Fisherman's Knot (Angler's
knot, English knot, Englishman's bend, Halibut knot, True Lover's bend,
Waterman's knot)
|
|
- The Fisherman's knot is used to tie two ropes of equal thickness
together. It is used by fishermen to join fishing line, and is very
effective with small diameter strings and twines.
- Tie a Thumb
knot, in the running end of the first rope around the second
rope. Then tie a thumb knot in the second rope, around the first
rope. Note the Thumb knots are tied such they lie snugly against
each other when the standing ends are pulled.
|
- When tying knots in monofilament line, moisten the line before
pulling the knot tight. This helps to stop the line heating up with
friction, which weakens it.
