Bass Fishing Knots

Learn to tie these fishing knots

Here's another Important tip for your bass fishing. The most important link between you and the big bass that bites your lure or hook is the knot. Most beginners have a misconception that you need to know how to tie a lot of complicated knots. Not true.
I use 2 basic knots for 99% of my bass fishing applications. These two will work great regardless of whether you're using light line, heavy line, live bait or lures.

How to tie the Palomar Knot

The Palomar is the strongest as well as the most simple to tie knot that you can use. Tests prove the palomar will hold beyond the strengh of the line its self. The only drawback to palomar knot is the fact that it's almost impossible tie it when using an a bait or method that calls for a long leader.

See this Video for the palomar

The second knot you should learn is the improved clinch knot. I use this knot when I can't use the palomar.

How to Tie the Improved Clinch Knot

Learn and apply these two fishing knots to your bass fishing and you'll land more big bass.
