Top 3 Must Know Fishing Knots

In Episode 11 of Angling Wisdom, Patrick dives into the topic of fishing knots. A good knot can be the difference between landing a big catch or losing it, along with an expensive lure. Patrick covers his top three fishing knots, explaining their strengths, uses, and the scenarios where each one excels. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned angler, this episode is packed with practical advice to improve your knot-tying skills.

In This Episode You’ll Learn About:

• The Palomar Knot: Known for its incredible strength and simplicity, the Palomar Knot is a must-know for any angler. It's ideal for big game fishing but requires a bit more line and can be tricky to tie in low-light conditions.
• The Improved Clinch Knot: A versatile and reliable knot, the Improved Clinch Knot works well with various line types and is Patrick's go-to knot for most fishing situations. It's easy to tie, quick to learn, and suitable for a wide range of lures.
• The Snell Knot: Particularly useful for bait fishing, the Snell Knot ensures that your bait stays aligned with your hook. It's also a crucial knot for anglers who make their own crawler harnesses.

Check out the videos included in the youtube version of this episode for visual demonstrations of each knot.

Choosing the right knot depends on your fishing situation, the type of line you're using, and the bait or lure you're working with. Master these three knots, and you'll be well-prepared for most fishing scenarios. Be sure to do your research and practice knot-tying to avoid the dreaded experience of losing a catch or lure due to a poorly tied knot.
