Bass Fishing Knots

Learn to tie and apply these fishing knots to your Bass Fishing

Here's another very Important tip . 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 fishing knots. Not true.
I use 2 basic knots for 99% of my fishing applications no matter what species I'm targeting. These two fishing knots 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 that the palomar knot will hold beyond the strength of the line its self. The only drawback to palomar knot is the fact that it's almost impossible tie it when using a a bait or method that calls for a long leader.

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