Palomar Knot

Quick and simple to

tie, the Palomar knot
is a strong and

secure way of
attaching any type of
fishing line, even the

most slippery of
monofilament nylon,

to a fishing hook
with an eye. Wet the
knot with a little

saliva after it is tied
to help it pull up

neat and snug.

1 Near the end of the

fishing line pull a
bight of the line

through the eye of
the hook.
2 Take the bight under
Pocket Guide to Knots & Splices
the standing two

parts of the line,
round and down
through the loop

making an overhand
knot.
3 Bring the bight over

the end of the hook.
