IKATAN DAN SIMPULAN

ATTACHING LINE TO YOUR REEL

Our first task, after buying a rod and reel, is to wind a line of suitable breaking strain onto the reel. We are going to attach the line to the spool of the reel with a Centuari Knot.

I suggest that the line should be wound onto the reel under moderate tension, enough to load the rod slightly. This is easier to do should someone holding the spool of line on a pencil, or the like, and applying a small amount of pressure. A better alternative is to first wind the line onto another reel. This reel is also mounted on a road, which is placed in a rod holder. Then the drag (clutch) of the first reel is adjusted to the desired tension for spooling the second reel.

1. First loop the line around the spool

2. Encircle the main line, or standing part with the tag

3. And again,

4. Then a third time, this time passing the tag right over, then back through, the previous loops.

5. By following these steps, we create a noose, which is pulled tight on the spool of the wheel. When the noose is pulled tight we can wind the line onto the reel.

The Blood knot

1. Take the two lines' ends and tie a simple overhand knot (which will be clipped off later). Then tighten to combine the two lines into one.
2. Form a loop where the two lines meet, with the overhand knot in the loop. Pull one side of the loop down and begin taking turns with it around the standing line. Keep point where turns are made open so turns gather equally on each side.
3. After eight to ten turns, reach through center opening and pull remaining loop (and overhand knot) through. Keep finger in this loop so it will not spring back. Hold loop with teeth and pull both ends of line, making turns gather on either side of loop.
4. Set knot by pulling lines tightly as possible. Tightening coils will make loop stand out perpendicular to line. Then clip off the loop and overhand knot close to the newly formed knot.

The Dropper loop

1. First, form a loop in the line.
2. Pull one side of the loop down and begin taking turns with it around the standing line. Keep point where turns are made open so turns gather equally on each side.
3. After eight to ten turns, reach through center opening and pull remaining loop through. Keep finger in this loop so it will not spring back.
4. Hold loop with teeth and pull both ends of line, making turns gather on either side of loop.
5. Set knot by pulling lines as tightly as possible. Tightening coils will make loop stand out perpendicular to line. Not a strong knot but servicable for pan fish and small salt water species where such rigs are used.

The Swivel knot

1.Slip loop end of double-line leader through eye of swivel. Rotate loop end a half-turn to put a single twist between loop and swivel eye.
2. Pass the loop with the twist over the swivel. Hold end of the loop, plus both legs of the double-line leader with one hand. Let swivel slide to other end of double loops now formed.
3. Still holding loop and lines with one hand, use other to rotate swivel through center of both loops, at least six times.
4. Continue holding both legs of double-line leader tightly but release end of loop. Pull on swivel and loops will begin to gather.
5. To draw knot tight, grip swivel with pliers and puch loops toward eye with fingers, while still keeping standing lines of the leader pulled tight.

BIMINI TWIST
This is used to make a loop or double line without excessively reducing the breaking strength of the line.

Double the end of the line forming a loop allowing extra line to work with. Put the loop around some stable object like a cleat or rod butt to keep the loop open. While keeping the line taut, make 20 tight twists in the lines.

Holding the twists tight, wind the end of the line over the twist until you reach the neck of the loop; keep these wraps tight and compact.

Make a half-hitch around one side of the loop; pull it tight.

Make another half-hitch around the other side of the loop; pull it tight.

To complete the Bimini Twist, make 3 half-hitches around the base of the loop, tighten it and clip off the excess line at the end.

PALOMAR KNOT

A basic knot for tying on hooks, lures, swivels, etc. You may find it easier to tie than the Improved Clinch Knot. Properly tied it's just as strong.

Pass line through eye of hook and return through eye making a 3" or 4" loop as shown.

Hold line and hook eye with one hand and use other hand to tie a loose overhand knot in doubled line. Do not tighten.

Hold loose overhand knot and pull loop over hook, swivel or lure.

Pull on doubled line to draw knot up making sure loop does not hang up in hook eye or swivel. Pull both line ends to tighten. Clip off end about 1/8" from knot.

Knot Tying - The Improved Clinch Knot

1. An old standby for fishermen. Pass the line through the eye of hook, swivel or lure. Double back and make 5 turns around the standing line.

Hold the coils in place; thread end of line through the first loop above the eye, then through the big loop as shown.

2. Hold the tag end and standing line while coils are pulled up. Take care that coils are in spiral, not lapping over each other. Slide tight against the eye. Clip tag end.

UNI KNOT

Run the line through the eye for at least 6 inches. Fold it back to form a double line and make a circle back toward the hook or lure with the tag end.

Make six turns with the tag end around the double line and through the circle. Holding the double line at the point where it passes through the eye, pull the tag end, as indicated by arrow, until the six turns are snugged into a tight barrel.

Now grasp the standing part of the line and pull (see arrow) to slide the knot up against the eye.

Continue to pull standing line until knot is tight. You can trim the tag end flush with the closest coil of the knot, because the Uni-Knot doesn't allow line slippage.

To tie a small loop into the eye of a lure or fly, giving it free movement in the water, tie the same knot, up to the point where the turns are snugged up around the standing line.

Next, slide the knot toward the eye of the lure, by pulling on the standing line, until the size loop desired is reached. Use tacklebox pliers to hold the knot at this point, pulling the tag end to maximum tightness.

Under normal casting and retrieving the loop will hold. Once a fish is hooked, the knot will slide tight against the eye for better security.

Twisted Dropper Loop

The Twisted Dropper Loop enables a hook to be attached at any point along the line in such a way that it is most unlikely to tangle. This loop is simply a variation of the standard Dropper Loop, but with a twist in the main loop. It is ideal to use as a replacement for a three-way swivel.


Step 1 Commence twisting your line so that a twisted loop is formed.	Step 2 Having twisted your line to extend your loop to the length required, cross the lines to form an open loop and insert your finger at the crossover so that the loop remains open.

Step 3 Twist the crossing lines together, making four complete twists. Should you count the half twists, then you will count to eight.	Step 4 Remove your finger and thread the twisted loop through at the crossover.

Step 5 Close the knot up tight by pulling on both sides of the knot.	Step 6 Thread on your hook as shown.

SURGEON'S KNOT

For tying a leader to a line end, where the diameters are unequal.

Overlap ends of lines for several inches. Tie a simpleoverhand knot treating both strands as one.

Pass the two strands through the loop again. Pull up tight.Trim ends. For greater strength, tie a "Double Surgeon's Knot"by passing the strands through the loop four times.
