The Nail Knot is an important fishing knot used to join two lines of different diameters – it allows for line diameters to diminish down to the fly. It retains nearly 100 percent breaking strenght. The sugeon’s knot is quick to tie and so easy that it can be tied easily in the dark. It can also be used with lines of differnt materials and works just as fine with lines of similar materials. The surgeon’s knot can be used for joining lines of both similar and different size. The Surgeon’s Knot is a great multipurpose knot. The Perfection Loop is perfectly in line with the standing part of the leader and it is both quick and easy to tie. The Perfection Loop is a great knot for tying a small loop at the end of the line. It can be used to make a loop to loop connection or to attach a lure that needs to move freely. The surgeon’s loop will form a perfect loop at the fishing line. The surgeon’s loop is also very strong so it no wonder that it is popular. The Surgeon’s Loop is a popular loop because it one of the quickest and easiest loops to tie. Also the palomar is so simple that it can be tied in the dark. But when the palomar knot is used with small lures, hooks and swivels it is superior to many other fishing knots for being quick, easy and very strong. So if used in a tapered leader it will shorten the line more quickly. The only downside is that the palomar knot uses a little more line than other similar fishing knots. It is also very strong and therefor a very popular fishing knot. The Palomar Knot is both quick an easy to tie. The improved clinch knot is very popular since it is both strong and easy to tie. The improved clinch knot is used the same way as the ordinary clinch knot to attach a lure, hook or swivel to the line. The Improvement is an extra tuck to finalize the knot. The Improved Clinch Knot is a normal clinch knot with a little improvement to make the clinch knot even more secure. It is a perfect knot to choose for most lures. When tied properly the clinch knot is very strong with a breaking strength around 95%.The Clinch knot work well for medium sized lines (6 lb – 30 lb). The clinch knot is simple and is probably the most popular fishing knot for attaching a line to a lure, hook or swivel. At some point in your fly fishing adventure you may need to understand how to tie a Bimini Twist or Plaited Double loop, but those are not every day knots. Each one is used for a specific application, but there are only a few that you really need to be familiar with for fly fishing. If you search the internet you will find hundreds of different types of knots and loops for fishing. ![]()
