Knitting Tips
- For maximum strength, the nodes must be pre-moistened.
- Tighten slowly so that the fishing line does not heat up.
- On monolesk knots it is better not to glue in addition, after that they become fragile; It should also be noted that gluing on a braid requires special viscous glue.
- If the knot is tied up poorly, then it is better to redo it. Good knitting has no gaps.

How to make a loop on a fishing line for a leash
Properly tie a loop on a fishing line for a leash in the following sequence:
1. A loop is made on the main fishing line, which is held with a finger where there will be a compartment for a leash.
2. After that, you need to take the fishing line by the other end of the loop and make a few turns in the fishing line area (7-9 turns). The result is a pretty big loop.
3. Then this loop doubles. On the side where the fishing line was doubled, it needs to be divided again.
4. Then a loop is made in the middle of a single fishing line, and a double fishing line is already threaded through it. With the other hand, you need to grab a new loop.
5. After this, the line is wetted and tightened. It is important here not to tighten the knot too much - during use it will be tightened as it should.
How to tie a loop at the end of a fishing line
To quickly and firmly make a loop at the end of a fishing line, you need to learn how to knit a special surgical loop, which has proven itself in fishing. Such a loop looks like a “running” knot and is not tied up too complicated.
How to make a surgical loop on a fishing line:
1. An open loop is formed at the end of the line. For her, a regular knot is tied. Then the loop stretches along the same path again.
2. After that, it is tightened to the desired size (before that, it must be moistened with water).
3. It remains only to trim the excess ends of the fishing line.
How to make a loop on the main fishing line
Such a loop is needed to attach a leash to it. It is tied as follows:
1. To measure and notice the desired length, you can use the triple node, which will act as a limiter. After this, the leashes are adapted to the fishing line.
2. To the limiter node, you need to add one more, double node, which is not completely tightened. Thus, a figure eight is obtained from a double knot.
3. In the resulting eight, the end of the leash is threaded: first into one ring, then into the other. After that, the loop is tightened.
On fluorocarbon fishing line
In this section, we will look at how to make a loop on a fluorocarbon fishing line. For her, it is better to use a special type of nodes made according to the following scheme:
1. The end of the fishing line is doubled. In length, it should be approximately 10 cm.
2. This end extends into the ear of the swivel.

3. Thread it into a large one and remove the hook.
4. After that, crochet another loop (respectively, paragraphs 2 and 3).
5. Tighten the wetted line firmly, and the eight loop is ready.
