FISHERMAN’S KNOT

This simple but very strong knot is generally known as the

fisherman’s knot but is also known by a variety of other names

including the English, halibut and waterman’s knot. It is used for

joining two lengths of similar diameter cord or line and is most

effective with small diameter material such as string, twine and

fishing line.

1 Lay the two lines you want join parallel to each other and make a single

overhand knot in one of the line ends, around the other line.
