Fishing knots

Lord Paul of Sheffield · May 12, 2013

How many do you use
I use the water knot, 4 turn grinner, knotless knot, and palomar knot for 99 percent of my fishing , can't think of another knot I use

bullmoose_jackson · May 12, 2013

The grinner knot and the figure of eight loop knot covers 99% of my needs.

The palomar and the spade-end knot get some use, as does the sliding stop knot.

Lord Paul of Sheffield · May 12, 2013

Yes figure of 8 knot forgot that I use that a lot

bennygesserit · May 12, 2013

Overhand loop and 5 turn grinner thats it

steph mckenzie · May 12, 2013

Figure of 8, 5 turn Grinner, Spade End knot, Knotless Knot (which isn't actually a knot)

Grinners mainly with braid and mono but tucked bloodknots with fluro. Also been using the Rapala knot (aka mirrorlure knot) with lures and heavy flys as it supplies a useful loop to aid the action.

Spade end knot, figure of 8 and what JW called the 'mahseer knot' or a trilene knot cover around 90% of all my knots.

I occasionally use a knotless knot, 5 turn grinner, sliding stop knot and an albright knot.

Granny knot, I like to have a built in weakness in my rigs.

Ok, 4 turn grinner, figure of 8 and Knotless cover 90% of my fishing. I cant remember the last time I tied a spade end, certainly not since I left my 40s behind and I'm hurtling towards 60 with no brakes now.

Tucked half-blood for tying on flies and hooks or a half-grinner, Domhoff Knot (spade end knot), full grinner, Perfection Loop and that's about it. Oh, and the lassoo knot for tying hollow or hydro elastic to the Stonfo connector.

Tucked blood knot, perfection loop, Grinner, Spade end knot (Domhoff), water knot (3 and 4 turn), sliding stop knot - if its really windy I like the thrill of a Bimini twist..

Thanks Titus

Knotless, tucked half blood, grinner, overhand and very occasionally both the spade end and palomar.

ravey · May 12, 2013

Spade end knot (snell), a 'version' of the figure of eight, loop to loop, palomar, grinner/uni.

Overhand loop, half blood, water knot, sliding stop knot.

laguna · May 12, 2013

Tucked half blood for hooks and swivels and...

a blobbed hair that replaces the now redundant double overhand knot (aka a Surgeon's loop)

Lord Paul of Sheffield · May 13, 2013

Just goes to show that for all the fancy knots shown in fushing books most of the time we all use the same few knots

Yes, but I'm always on the lookout to improve or review which knots I use, not so long back I used a Seaguar knot for attaching hooklengths which worked fine, I now use a multi turn water knot - it might change again.

Sorry, can't find such books.

I've found some lines don't like certain knots, so I don't like the lines that don't like my knots, whatever they are called.
