3 Ways to Tie a Fishing Hook & Line Knotting Method

Fishing is a hobby enjoyed by many people. However, to enjoy fishing, various skills and knowledge are required. Among them, the most basic and important is how to tie a fishing hook. In this article, we will look in detail at three ways to tie a fishing hook and the line knotting method.

Hook Tying Method

The method that beginners in sea fishing find most tricky is this hook tying method. There are various methods, but let's introduce a method of tying a hook using fingers. If a beginner in sea fishing learns this method once, it will become a very powerful tool that can be quickly tied with just the sense of the hand, not only in bright daylight but also in pitch-black night fishing.

1. First, hold a collar and a hook ear with your left hand to make a circle of about 6cm in diameter.


2. Insert the index and middle fingers of your right hand from below to above.


3. Twist your fingers outward to wind the collar around the hook. At this time, the collar hanging on the index finger is wound around the hook. Wind it about 9~10 times.


4. When winding the collar around the hook, it should be wound sequentially.


5. Pull the collar coming out of the hook ear. Similarly, pull the opposite line, but bite it lightly with your mouth and pull it.


6. Use your fingernails to position the collar wound around the hook to the end of the hook ear, and pull it with your hand to make it tight.


7. The collar coming out of the hook should come out above the hook ear. If the collar comes out below the hook ear, there is a risk that the hooking will not work properly when chamming.


8. Cut the remaining waste line, leaving about 5mm to finish.

Outer Winding

The second way to tie a fishing hook is the outer winding. This method is as follows:

1. First, make a loop with a diameter of 5~6cm.


2. Then attach the hook to the point where the knot crosses.


3. Wind the end of the collar into the loop of the collar. When winding, wind it backward about 5~8 times.


4. Pull the end of the collar. At this time, since the end of the collar is short, it is better to pull it hard using a tool if possible.


5. Pull the collar and hook in opposite directions.

Inner Winding

The third way to tie a fishing hook is the inner winding. This method is as follows:

1. First, make a loop with a diameter of 5~6cm.
2. Then attach the hook to the point where the knot crosses.
3. Wind the end of the collar into the loop of the collar. When winding, wind it forward about 5~8 times.
4. Pull the end of the collar. At this time, since the end of the collar is short, it is better to pull it hard using a tool if possible.
5. Pull the collar and hook in opposite directions.

Line Knotting Method

The line knotting method is one of the methods to connect fishing lines. This method is as follows:

1. Cross the ends of the two lines.


2. Wind the end of one line around the other line. When winding, wind it forward about 5~8 times.


3. Wind the end of the other line around the opposite line in the same way. When winding, wind it backward about 5~8 times.


4. Tighten the knot by pulling the ends of the two lines.
