This quick and easy knot, used to attach a swivel to a
                fishing line, is not as secure as more intricate knots, but
                for lighter lines and smaller species it works well. In the
                years before prepackaged foods, a similarly tied knot was
                used to hold the mouth of a sack closed—and was called,
                appropriately, the sack-binding knot or bag-binding knot.
                The swivel knot has been listed in knot books dating back
                more than fifty years.

                  Since monofilament fishing line doesn’t float and
                  is virtually invisible in water, it might entangle fish
                        and mammals if cut and left to sink.
