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.
