Figure 38. Trilene (Fishing) Knot


               Berkeley  researchers  recommend  this  knot  for  tying  lures  in  slippery

               monofilament  line.  The  trilene  knot  is  a  cross  between  an  anchor  bend  and  a
               clinch knot. Berkeley tests reveal that the knot yields 80 to 90 percent of the
               line’s breaking strength. Tip: Wet the knot before tightening it; this will lubricate
               the line and reduce damage caused by the heat of friction.
