Improved Clinch Knot
beginner
Tying a hook, lure, or swivel to your line when the eye is too small for a doubled loop
Steps
- 1.Pass the line through the eye and wrap it around the standing line 5-7 times.
- 2.Bring the tag end back through the small loop formed just above the eye.
- 3.Then pass the tag end through the larger loop you just created.
- 4.Wet the knot and pull the standing line to draw the wraps down snug against the eye, then trim.
A reliable backup to the Palomar for smaller eyes, common on sabiki hooks and small lures.
