close to the knot. Just remember, if you tie the correct knot
for the type of line you’re using, make sure it’s tied properly,
and lubricate it well to ensure it tightens smoothly, your
knot shouldn’t slip.
While you are tying fishing knots, please don’t make the
mistake of using your teeth to cut the line as many anglers
do. Most who do have ended up chipping their teeth in the
process and more than a few have hooked their lips with
their fishing lure while doing this!
Nail clippers or a small pair of scissors work very well
for trimming fishing line. Not only will you avoid the risk of
chipping your teeth if you use these tools, you’ll actually be
able to trim the leftover section of your working ends much
closer to the knot.
Now that you know this series of knots might be tricky to
master, remember to have patience and take your time. As
you become more and more familiar with how it feels to
actually tie knots in fishing line, you’ll develop your own
technique for getting the job done. Before you know it,
you’ll be tying fishing knots like a pro!
