🎣 Knots Every Angler Should Know
You don’t need a tackle box full of tricks to catch fish — but you do need the right knots. Whether you’re tying on a hook, joining leader to line, or securing a swivel, the right knot can mean the difference between landing your catch or losing it at the rail.
Here are a few essential fishing knots every angler should know — no fluff, just what works.
🪢 Uni Knot – The All-Rounder
This knot does it all — attaches hooks, swivels, and even works for line-to-line joins in a pinch.
– Strong, simple, and reliable
– Works with monofilament and braid
– Perfect for soaking bait in Tassie Salmon Fish Oil — reliable grip under load
🪝 Improved Clinch Knot – The Classic
Great for tying terminal tackle (hooks, swivels, clips).
– Easy to learn, quick to tie
– Best with mono or fluorocarbon
– Strong grip when you give the final pull
🔗 Loop Knot – For Better Bait Action
This knot gives your bait or lure more freedom to move — great for whiting, gar, and squid.
– Ideal when using salmon oil-dipped bait — lets it drift naturally
– Keeps motion in soft plastics or baited hooks
– Doesn’t tighten down on the eye, preserving movement
🔄 Double Uni – For Joining Two Lines
Need to connect your mainline to a leader? This is your go-to.
– Strong for braid-to-mono connections
– Easier than a blood knot and more versatile
– Holds under tension when pulling in bigger species
🧴 Oil Tip: Secure Knots When Using Oil-Enhanced Bait
Using Tassie Salmon Fish Oil Mix™ on your bait can attract more fish — but it’s still important to tie strong, reliable knots that hold when it counts.
Here’s how to keep your knots secure:
– Always tighten slowly and wet the knot before pulling
– Use 5+ wraps when tying with braid
– After handling oily bait, double-check your knot strength before casting
