The most common knot used by catfish persons is the snell and the palomar. Other resources can be found at http://www.netknots.com/html/fishing_knots.html. You should retie your hook knots before each fishing trip. The knot gets damaged by the fish that you catch, transporting your gear and storing your gear. It is always better to be prepared than to experience failure.

This is a site that I like to use to find how to tie different knots. It shows how to tie them in animation. Not only do they show all kinds of fishing knots but all kinds of other types of knots as well. Such as boating knots, household knots, and many more.
