Pick what you're trying to tie and we'll show the best knots for it — with simple, short steps.
Choose your situation
Tying mono or fluorocarbon to a hook, lure, or swivel — the classic first knot.
A stronger cousin of the clinch — double-through-the-eye for extra security on mono/fluoro.
The strongest, simplest knot for braid to a hook or lure — the go-to for bass soft plastics.
A versatile, reliable knot for hooks and lures that works on braid, mono, and fluoro.
Ties line to the shank of a hook (especially circle hooks) for a straight-line pull and better hookups.
Joins two lines — the easiest reliable braid-to-fluorocarbon leader connection for most anglers.
The thinnest, strongest braid-to-leader connection — casts through the guides beautifully. Worth learning.
A strong, slim braid-to-leader knot that's easier than the FG — great when leader is much heavier than braid.
Joins two very different diameter lines — like braid to heavy mono, or mono to wire.
Joins two similar-diameter lines smoothly — classic for building tapered mono/fluoro leaders (fly and conventional).
The fastest way to join two similar lines or add a leader/tippet — quick and strong.
Attaches your line (or backing) to the reel spool so it can't spin freely.
A simple open loop at the lure that lets a jig, plug, or fly swing freely for the most natural action.
The strongest fixed-size loop knot — maximum lure action with reliable strength. A saltwater favorite.
A non-slip loop designed for hard baits (like Rapala plugs) so the lure wobbles freely.
A neat, inline fixed loop — perfect for loop-to-loop leader connections (common in fly fishing).
Creates a standing loop in the middle of a line for a hook or sinker — the basis of high-low and multi-hook bottom rigs.
