Fishing
Knots:
Each fishing knot dealt with in this book has its own definite and prescribed
purpose. When properly tied, or formed, then worked or drawn up into shape,
the knot can make all the difference between boating a big fish, or losing
it.

Brubaker
loop knot:
Start by tying the overhand knot some 4 to 6 inches above the
end of your line, running the tag end through the eye and then
through the loop formed by the untightened overhand knot.
The eye loop should represent the final loop you wish to leave
for your Rapala. hold the loose knot and line at this point so
the loop size will not change.
Next, using your free hand, make 5 turns of the tag end around
the standing line and bring the end back through the loop of the
overhand knot, which still hasn't been tightened. Be sure to make
5 turns to guarantee the strength of the knot.
After you've taken the tag end back up under the bend formed in
tying the Improved Clinch (3), pull both the end and the standing
line simultaneously, being careful to maintain the desired eye
loop size.
When you feel that the overhand knot has tightened completely,
keep the standing line taut while you continue to pull on the
tag end. Pull down into a neat barrel, with the coils gathered
neatly.
Do not nick the line with your fingernails! Here is how the finished
knot should appear when fully tightened and the end snipped off
to 1/8 inch.
The Brubaker Lure Loop Knot will give your Rapala free play and
exaggerates the lure's life-like swimming action.

Fishing Knots
Fishing
knots: Blood Knot
This fishing knot is commonly used to join two lines of about the same
diameter. A good alternative to the Albright knot but not as good as
a Surgeon's knot.
Fishing Knots:
Clinch Knot
The Improved Clinch is very easy to tie, which is the main reason it's
so popular for connecting monofilament to terminal tackle. It's most
effective on lines under 20-pound test.
Fishing Knots:
snelling a hook
When snelling a hook, restrict it to lines with a breaking strength
of less than 50 pounds.
Fishing Knots:
dropper loop
This is the basic knot for a High Low and other bait rigs, with practice
it is very easy tie. I don't do as many loops as the professionals recommend
but I know people have taken bass up to 40 lbs on my rigs without a
problem. On the other hand if you're after a new world record the Dropper
Loop isn't strong enough.
Fishing Knots:
palomar knot
The best all around fishing knots and very easy to tie, even in the
middle of the night when you're standing in the water. It has been proven
to be one of the strongest knots to hold terminal tackle.
Fishing Knots:
crawford knot
The Crawford knot often is overlooked by even the most skilled anglers
because its a pain to tie! It is a very versatile knot for tying most
types of hook, swivel, or lure "eyes" to a leader or line.
Fishing Knots:
brubaker loop knot
A new knot that gives lures a "free swinging" action. This non-slipping
loop knot is simple to tie because it combines two well known knots,
the simple overhand and the popular improved clinch.
