Several years ago I picked up a book by Des Pawson called "Field Guide to Knots." Excellent step-by-step instructions for all kinds of knots, bends, hitches, etc. HIGHLY recommend it.

The following site is a goldmine for info on tying knots. There are several sites linked to this one that are worth checking out.

Just curious, what knot do you favor? I've started using the snelling knot for my present setup with two hooks and a weight at the end. Its easy to tie and I have not had one to fail.

Dean thanks for sharing. I suggest you get some larger string and do info demos at the next Rend Gathering.:big_smile:

There is a great article in the latest Saltwater Sportsman magazine that gives the results of an extensive test of some common knots.Interestingly enough there were only 2 knots that earned the highest rating over all for joining two line together like braid and mono.All the others earned 4 stars for strenght of line hook connection.The breaking strength of the line is interesting also.Worth the price of the magazine.:smile2:
