Fishing Knots Glossary

The knot connecting your line to your lure or hook is often the weakest link in the entire system, and a poorly tied knot will cost you more fish than bad tackle choices ever will. This glossary breaks down the knots every bass angler should know, from basic hook ties to advanced line-to-line connections used for joining braid and fluorocarbon.

• Improved Clinch Knot. A fast, reliable knot for tying on hooks and lures.
• Palomar Knot. A strong, simple knot that works great with braid.
• Uni Knot. A versatile knot for line-to-hook and joining line.
