Succeeding in his fishing knot is part of the béaba to know how to master for a fisherman. Here is a selection of fishing knots that are easy to make, whether on a lure, a swivel or between the leader and the main line.
The lighter knot is a fishing knot that was shown to us by our friend and fishing guide Julien Audonnet during our stay in Guadeloupe. To our great surprise, this fishing knot proved to be as reliable as it was easy to tie throughout our fishing trip. This 'lighter' fishing knot allows you to connect a large-diameter fluorocarbon (over 50/100) to your lure.
This fishing knot is therefore perfect for heavy fishing such as pike or even in exo. The only requirements you should have with you is fluorocarbon 100% as well as a lighter.
2. Tie a simple knot two or three centimeters from the mushroom, without tightening the latter.
3. Pass the mushroom through the lure attachment, then pass it through the single knot previously formed.
4. Tighten the simple knot which blocks the mushroom and locks the loop.
The albright knot is certainly the most used fishing node by lure fishermen, whether in France or abroad. This fishing knot is used to connect a braid to a fluorocarbon or nylon leader. Easy to make, this fishing knot goes relatively well in the rings on small and medium diameters of fluorocarbon. This fishing knot comes for us in addition to the FG knot if for any fluorocarbon or nylon diameter not greater than 50/100.
2. Wrap the braid around the loop for about ten turns while coming back to the loop.
3. Pass the excess thread through the loop
4. Tighten the knot by simultaneously pulling the free strand of braid and the leader. Cut off the excess braid and leader
The FG knot is a fishing knot for fluidly connecting the braid to. a large diameter fluorocarbon. With the FG knot or "Fine Grip knot", the diameter of the knot is drastically reduced compared to another fishing knot. This allows for better fluidity when the knot passes through the rings. We can therefore afford to extend the length of the leader and ensure better discretion.
However, it is quite long and complex to master at the start. Also, we advise you to make this fishing knot first in peace at home on all your rods in order to avoid the galleys once in fishing action.
2. Pass the fluorocarbon through the bridge formed between the fingers. Make a U-turn with the wrist and pass the fluorocarbon again through the bridge formed between the fingers.
3. Repeat the operation 10 to 20 times, alternating back and forth until the braid no longer slips on the fluorocarbon. Be sure to keep a constant tension during this operation.
4. With the remaining braid, make several loops around the fluorocarbon to tighten the peach knot.
6. Cut the fluorocarbon 3 mm from the braid
7. Make about 5 to A new loops around the braid
8. Take a lighter and burn the excess fluorocarbon.
The Palomar is one of the most famous fishing knots for lure fishermen. The "Palomar" fishing knot allows you to connect a line to a swivel, a hook or even a staple.
This fishing knot has built its fame on its strength but above all on its speed of execution. It is a very versatile knot, which can also be used on nylon, fluorocarbon or braid. On the other hand, it is a complicated fishing knot to use on large diameters of wire or small eyelets.
2. Make one or two loops, taking care to include your swivel, hook or staple.
3. Pass your swivel, hook or staple through the loop
4. Tighten the palomar knot and cut the excess thread
The Rapala knot is a fishing knot that is also essential when fishing with a lure. This easy-to-reproduce fishing knot allows a lure to be hooked up to a line, while retaining the mobility benefits of a hook. It is also more discreet than a staple. It is an ideal fishing knot for lures with strong wobbling or rolling like crankbaits, jerkbaits or even swimbaits.
In our opinion, the Rapala knot complements the lighter knot as soon as we go over smaller fluorocarbon diameters. The only downside that can be seen in this fishing knot is that it forces you to re-tie the knot every time you want to change lures.
2. This time, pass the end of your thread through the loop initially formed.
3. Wind the wire 4 to 5 times around the main line
4. Iron the end of the wire through the loop
5. Pass the end of the thread, this time through the loop formed in the upper part of the knot.
6. Moisten the assembly, tighten the knot and cut the excess thread.
