Newcomers to fishing are often interested in how to knit fishing hooks. The easiest way is a non-tightening loop at the end of the fishing line (figure eight). But such a fastener reduces the strength of the thread. This unit is used if the fishing line is of sufficient thickness and is resistant to tearing.
In order to attach the fly to a leash, another method is used. It is sometimes also used for fastening to fishing line spinners. It is called a gripping unit. To do this, the end of the fishing line is passed through the ring of the carabiner, cranked several times. Three to four turns are formed. The end of the fishing line is brought between them and the ring. This method does not so much reduce the tensile strength of the thread.
Some fishing tackle manufacturers give advice to fishermen on how to knit fishing hooks. For example, the company Rapallo, which is engaged in the production of wobblers, advises the use of non-retractable hinges.
Fishermen often use maritime knots in the process of fastening, which have their official names. Among them, the most interesting are, for example, the bayonet knot, Canadian eight, fishing eight, turtle knot, etc. Amateur fishermen study them before knitting fishing hooks.
One of the simplest marine knots is considered a bayonet when two half-bayonets are used that are made on the forend of the hook. With synthetic fishing line, this method is not used, since the node slides.
Knots for fishing are also knitted using the Canadian eight. This knot is well able to hold on a synthetic fishing line. Here we use the familiar eight. This knot can be easily untied if necessary.
Knitting hooks using the fishing figure eight is a reliable way to attach fishing line. The hook is used with the eye. This method ensures that the knot does not untie.
It is difficult to judge what gave the name to the turtle knot, because turtles are not caught on a hook. This method is well suited for lines of cotton. On synthetic veins it is easily untied.
California anglers also thought about how to knit fishing hooks. Therefore, in the 70s of the last century, the knot, which is so called - California. It was used to attach fishing hooks, sinkers, swivels to a nylon fishing line . It is easy to execute, reliable, but has one drawback - too massive.
Some anglers prefer to use forged hooks, which usually do not have abalone. Knitting knots on such gear is harder. For these purposes, use a stepped unit. It resembles a noose.
A very reliable unit is the gripping unit. It is used for fishing line from any material. The gripping unit is an element of the serpentine unit, which is used to attach two synthetics.
When tying a knot such as a shark, you need to tighten and tighten the loops around the root and running ends, and then enter the running end into the loop. This method is complicated, but very durable. Intends for synthetic woods.
