i havent been fishing for about 18 months now and miss it like mad, so im going this friday. but i read in a magazine the other day (when brushing up on my skills!) that the knot i used to use to tie my hooks with is not a very good one and is meant to give under only a small amount of pressure, even though i never had any trouble with it in the past. which knot do you use? i prefer not to use over technical methods, just a simple but solid way of tying my hooks (and maybe used for swivels as well)

<u>Spade End Knot.</u>

Lie the line along the shank of the hook.

Double the line back on its self to make a false loop.

Hold with one hand leaving a loop at top.

Wrap line around the loop about 6-7 times.

Take end of line through the loop.

Moisten and pull tight.
