Fishing is one of the most common types of recreation, which are popular among the male population. The opportunity to sit with a fishing rod in a calm, relaxing atmosphere of nature allows you to have a great time. Fishing units are one of the most important factors when equipping fishing equipment. Even novice anglers know that the success of an event depends on weather conditions, the right place, and high-quality gear.
Types of Nodes
To make a device for catching fish from an ordinary rod, you need to know how to tie hooks, leashes, sinkers and spinners. A properly formed knot can be a decisive factor in the outcome of all fishing. There are several main types of nodes used to equip fishing rods or spinning.
- Stoppers - nodes necessary for fastening floats and cargo. They are formed on the main fishing line in order to ensure the float glides, and sinkers at different fishing depths.
- Knots for connecting the lines are used for bottom fishing, float fishing, fly fishing. They are also used for bonding scaffolds in case of tearing.
- Fishing nodes for hooks, in turn, are divided into several subspecies (for attaching a hook with a spatula and a ringlet). Wobblers and baits are attached to the same principle.
- Auxiliary nodes are used to equip the oud with leashes, additional hooks, and the formation of temporary loops.
- Knots for fishing nets. Knowledge of the technology of weaving this type of knots can be useful in case of damage to the fishing net, for quick repair.
It often happens that the wrong fishing units for hooks and leashes can lead to loss of catch during the game. Therefore, it is necessary to perfectly master the technique of equipping fishing equipment.
Season features
Many newcomers to fishing are wondering if there is a difference in the ways of tying hooks for winter and summer fishing. The capture of fish in different seasons of the year is significantly different from each other. The main difference is equipment and bait.
The knitting technology does not depend on the season, it is important that their formation is strong and reliable. For these purposes, you must use high-quality fishing line from a trusted manufacturer. During fishing in severe frosts, nodes are used that are simple to perform.
Knots for hooks
Over the entire time of fishing, the technology of weaving knots has undergone many changes; various knitting methods have appeared that ensure the reliability of equipment. However, in practice, each fisherman uses only a few basic, most suitable species. One of the nodes, characterized by speed of execution and durability - Palomar. To tie it, perform the following steps:
- the fishing line is folded in half, forming a small loop;
- loop through the hook ring;
- a double fishing line is tied with a simple knot, while the hook is inside the knot;
- the hook is passed through the initial loop;
- the knot is moistened with water, tightened;
- excess pieces of fishing line are cut off.
Knitting fishing knots of this type is suitable for equipping swivels, spinners, hooks with an eye for fastening, baits.
Another knot popular among fishermen has the name "blood". To tie it, the free end of the fishing line is threaded into the hook fixing ring. With two fingers, it is necessary to hold both edges of the fishing line. The main thread is made 5-6 turns around the forend, the free edge of the fishing line is carried out in the loop formed. After wetting the knot with water (saliva), the loop is pulled into a strong knot.
Leash Mount
Fishing assemblies for leashes often require agility and speed of execution to quickly equip fishing rods. For leashes on the main fishing line make a temporary or permanent loop, depending on the further use of gear. The main plus of the temporary loop in the quick elimination of it after use. To quickly fasten such a loop, you will need a little practice.
- A small loop is made on the main fishing line. She is firmly pressed with her fingers at the base.
- An arbitrary knot is tied at the free end of the fishing line in a convenient and familiar way. Most often they use the eight, a simple and reliable option.
- The end of the leash, equipped with a knot, is threaded into the prepared loop on the main fishing line. Be sure to moisten the fishing line, this will provide enhanced strength.
- The loop is tightened, evenly distributing the fishing line. Excess edges are cut with scissors.
To tie the leash to the main fishing line on an ongoing basis, you need to know a different weaving technique. A loop is made on the main monofilament with a diameter of at least 10 cm, while the leash is wrapped around the main fishing line 5-7 times. The other edge of the fishing line is threaded into the finished loop and tighten the knot, pre-wetting the fishing thread.
Fishing nets
Fans of catching fish with the help of nets often face the problem of repairing and finalizing finished gear. In some cases, it is urgent to patch the damaged areas directly at the fishing site. Every fisherman involved in this type of recreation needs to know how the knot of the fishing net fits. Unlike ordinary nodes, for repairing networks, you will need special tools, a needle for weaving and a bar corresponding to the size of the cell.
To repair kapron fiber, it is stretched on racks or improvised supports, avoiding twisting. Places of damage are cleaned from scraps of fishing line with scissors or small nippers. For repair, a thread is used that is similar to the material from which the network is made, and a bar to the size of the cell. Most often, an oblique assembly is used for repairs; it is characterized by high strength and ease of technical implementation.
Shovel hook
The equipment of a fishing rod with a sinker, lures and hooks directly depends on the type of fishing and the intended catch. For some fish species it is necessary to use hooks with a special spatula for fastening instead of the traditional ringlet. The nodes for this type of equipment are slightly different. One of the most common nodes is looped. The technology of tying it consists in the following actions:
- 10-12 cm recede from the edge of the fishing line, holding the fishing line and the shoulder blade of the hook with your fingers;
- at the beginning of the forearm form a small loop;
- the working end of the fishing line performs 7-8 turns around the fore-end with the thread pressed to it;
- after which the working edge is passed into a loop at the base of the forearm;
- the knot is wetted and, holding the working thread, tightening is performed with the free end;
- the resulting knot is straightened so that the fishing line comes out of it;
- the remains of the fishing line are cut off.
A little practice in your free time will help you to acquire the necessary agility of movements, which will be needed to quickly equip a fishing rod during fishing.
Not all beginner fishermen know how to knit fishing knots with an external winding on hooks with a shovel. The advantage of this type of attachment, especially fishing line, is to tighten the knot more strongly under the action of the load. This eliminates the possibility of fish leaving in the process of fishing.
To attach the hook to the blade, it is necessary to make a loop from the fishing line, the length of which is 8-10 cm, while leaving a free edge of 1.5-2 cm. Clamping the base of the loop together with the blade of the hook, wrap the forend together with the main fishing line with one side of the loop and second side of the loop. At each turn, the free edge is passed directly through the loop. Having made 7-8 turns, it is necessary to pull on the main fishing line, moisten the knot and tighten it tightly.
Knots for a hook with a ring
Fastening gear with a special eye is much simpler and more reliable. There are many nodes that allow you to quickly snap a hook with a ringlet to the main gear. The Houmer knot is highly durable, but it should be noted that the thinner the fishing line is used to equip, the greater the number of turns you need to make when tying it.
In the process of fastening, the fishing line is passed through the ringlet, leaving a working thread up to 15 cm long. A normal loop is formed, with the working end wrapping the main fishing line. The working edge of the thread you need to make a regular knot, but without tightening it completely, wrap the main fishing line 5-6 times. The leading edge is returned by threading into a regular knot, moisten it and gently tighten.
For monofilny and wattled woods intended under big loading capacity, the Grinner knot is used. To make it, the main thread is threaded into the hook ring, leaving an edge of 15-17 cm. A loop is formed from it, which must be clamped on top, together with the main thread. With a fishing line, they perform the loop winding, making at least 5-6 turns. The wetted knot is tightened by pulling the working edge, brought to the mounting ring and cut off excess fishing line.
How to tie a fishing line?
Knowledge of the technique for performing fishing units is necessary not only for fastening equipment, but also for tying monofilament yarns. To tie the fishing line, two even ends are folded together, retreating 15 cm from the edge, clamped with your fingers. Make a simple knot, while the ends should remain at the same level. The ends of two lines are passed into a previously formed node, moistened and pulled from both sides simultaneously. A properly knotted knot looks like a figure eight.
Stronger fishing units for woods can be obtained by forming a loop unit. 30-40 cm recede from the edge of the main thread, fold in half. Next, you need to make a simple knot by passing a double fishing line through it twice. The result should be a loop with a tightened knot. The loop of the leash is made of the same type, which is subsequently thrown onto the loop of the main fishing line. The free edge of the second fishing line is passed through the loop of the main thread, stretching both ends in opposite directions, get a strong knot.
Code of General Rules
The success of fishing largely depends on the quality and strength of the fishing line, compliance with technological rules when tying knots. When performing fasteners, several important factors should be remembered:
- for the formation of nodes use a large amount of fishing line;
- the knot must be tightened slowly and evenly;
- fasteners should be tight, without extra loops and tails;
- do not cut excess fishing line too close to the place of attachment;
- Before tightening, any assembly must be wetted.
Using in practice the simple advice of experienced fishermen, you can achieve excellent results in the technique of knitting fishing knots of different types.
Maximum reliability
All nodes used in fishing are distinguished not only by their technology, but also by their strength and complexity. Snood, one of the varieties of knots used to attach a hook to a shoulder blade, is characterized by maximum reliability. A well-formed knot helps maintain scaffolding up to 97% strength, in some cases it is reinforced with glue.
To form a knot, the fishing line is folded in half, clamped with the fingers along with the fore-end of the hook, while the ends of the monophilic thread are directed towards the scapula. One of the edges of the fishing line is made 8-10 turns around the forend, threading the end into a loop at the base. Wetting the knot, it is pulled, stretching for the main fishing line.
