Fishing game is so much popular in western countries that almost everybody enjoys taking part in them. However participating in sport fishing and successful fishing trips are two different things. Whether you will continuously lose fish or land more fish depends a lot on your way of casting a line. There are different ways of tying strong fishing knots in the line so that when casting the line out, the angler could ensure that the fish will not escape from the common fishing knots, no matter how big the fish is or how hard it fights. There is nothing new in losing a catching fish only because of poorly tied saltwater fishing knots that usually break or slip. Hence it becomes essential for every angler to follow best fishing knots resources and learn from them the art of tying knots in their lines not merely for fun but also for safety purpose as saltwater fishes may give them a good fight during fishing. A saltwater fishing knot that is held strongly to the swivel, hook or lure is always considered a good one to survive the shock of a fish strike. A strong fishing knot always improves your chances of fishing thereby retaining over ninety percent of the casting line’s strength. Though fishing knots types may vary largely depending upon the fish type you may intend to catch, they should be properly tied. Perhaps it is sufficient for a fisherman to learn three to four basic fishing knots, each one of which changes with a change in fishing type. For example, a bass fisherman rarely uses the knots used by the ice fisherman, who, in turn, uses knots that are not required for the trout fisherman. Sharp hooks and good fishing knots are the things which can really make a big difference in your fishing trip in either helping you land a big fish, or lose it permanently. There are some basic fishing knots which are as follows:- Blood Knot A Blood knot is considered a good alternative to the albright knot but is not as good as surgeon’s knot. It is usually used to join two lines of about the same diameter. Clinch Knot Clinch knots are used connecting monofilament to terminal tackle and considered effective on lines under 20-pound test. Fishers find clinch very easy to tie and are therefore very popular. Snelling a hook knot Snelling a hook knots are restricted to lines with a breaking strength of less than 50 pounds. Dropper loop knot Dropper loop knot is basically used for a high low and other bait rigs. One can easily tie these knots with sheer practice thereby making as many loops as possible in the casting line. Palomar knot Palomar knots are the best among all fishing knots and are very easy to tie also. They are the strongest enough to hold terminal tackle. Crawford knot Not every skilled angler would like to use crawford knots as they are very difficult to tie. However due to its versatility, it can be used for tying most types of hook, swivel, or lure "eyes" to a leader or line. Brubaker loop knot Brubaker loop knot are the outcome of the combination of two well known knots, i.e. the simple overhead and the popular improved clinch and gives lures a "free swinging" action. Apart from the above given traditional fishing knots varieties, several other new knot types are coming into existence with new materials, techniques and technology. But good fishing knots are necessarily those that are neither too complicated to remember, nor too difficult to practice. A very few of them will fit into any job an angler might want.
