Arbor Knot

The arbor knot is an easy, accessible type of knot that’s best for pulling
things tight. Aside from the instructions below, you could also create
another version where you’d loop it twice or thrice so you could create
better friction while at sea!

Instructions:

1. Let the fishing line pass through the arbor.

2. Then, tie an overhand knot with the free end on the line.
3. Now, go and tie another overhand knot so there would be a stopper.
4. And lastly, let the knots slide down all the way to the arbor.
