Improved clinch knot
Tying nylon or fluorocarbon to a hook, swivel, lure or fly. Quick and reliable, but not for braid.
Step by step
- Pass the line through the eye and pull about 15 cm through.
- Wrap the end around the main line 5–7 times.
- Push the end through the small loop just above the eye.
- Now pass it back through the big loop you just made.
- Wet the knot and pull the main line slowly until the wraps tighten down onto the eye.
- Trim the end to 2–3 mm.
Tip: Use fewer wraps (4–5) on thick line, or the knot won't pull down neatly.
