When my Nephew was young I use to take him and 3 of his little friend fishing all the time 2 of them didn't have fathers or no one to show them how to fish. That was 30 years ago the one kid is Married with kids and take his family fishing all the time, even thanked me for taking him when he was older, the other kid was from a really broken home now he is a Principal for a big HighSchool and still talks about how he used to love to go fishing and camping. You can change a kids life just by taking them fishing.
@Devin8272 maybe to compare other knots over period of time. Maybe to see if everybody else has same opinion. But I have a question for you. We're ur moma at? She not answering my calls
This was the first knot I learned as a kid many decades ago...not sure why such a simple and reliable knot got over 400 dislikes because it's reliable and easy. Thanks for sharing it 👍
I gave it a dislike because it will slip and you will loose lures. I tested this knot at home and it fails about 50% of the time. The fail rate increases with thinner line. The knot I use is exactly like this knot but with one more step. On the last step I then thread the end of the like through the Loop that you just made when you threaded the end through the loop/gap by the lure's eye. My knot has been trusty for 40+ years. The fact that the knot taught here can and WILL slip is why the downvotes are happening.
Probably because when some of us try it, its very easy to pull apart for some reason. I must be missing something here. I'll watch it a couple more times but then I'm back to the quadruple beginning of tie my shoe knot. Never let me down, I just wanted to look more professional lol.
I'm 60 and been using this Knot that was taught to me by my dads professional Bass fisherman back in the 70s when I was 10 years old. I never new what it was called, but never failed.
i was taught it was called a barrel knot but it seems thats nor correct. its always worked for me as well. have to be careful with ultralight line when tightening the knot or it gets swirly
@@JM1540Xfirst you have to take thr tag end back through the loop you've made! Then I moisten the line, then I hold the tag end with my teeth as I pull the lure and the line gently until knot is snug. I mainly use 6-8lb test mono and it never fails me. But, without sending the tag back through the loop, it will pull right out. Also it's a good idea to have decent tension on the main line at all times. Can't let the knot bunch up like this guy does.
Pro move - water on the line to make sure you don't burn/bind it. Grew up with this knot, super easy to use when you need to tie multiple trout rigs. well done!
FYI, this knot is called the Clinch Knot. The Improved Clinch Knot involves looping back through the main loop one more time before tightening the lines.
God bless you. I'm gonna use this to get the sinkers and floaters on too. Next I'll find out if it works and if I'm doing it right once I get my first fishing trip since highschool going (I was always around people who would tie it for me before).
I'm 65 an handicapped my pop tought me this when I was a little yonker it's one I can do easy never needed help my pop tought me to be able to take care of myself with out help
I grew up using that exact fishing knot. It's called the clinch knot The improved version of the clinch know is one extra step and you just feed the line through the big loop above the hook and just pull the line light.....! Though the clinch knot works just fine the way it is....! Great video....!
Thank you so much this helped my mom Tia not my dad was out of town and I don’t know how to tie fishing knots so this really helped my mom out. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much man, no one in fam rlly knows how to fish so I’m glad im able to start somewhere with my new passion. Hopefully the people there won’t be so mean if they see me struggle out there as a girl. Wish me good luck for at least one good catch.
bro thank you so much, me and my bestie (miss miss westie) just learned how to tie a knot. we slayed that shit thanks to this bombastic youtube video. u saved our lives.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m thrilled to hear that the video helped you. Welcome to the world of fishing! If you have any questions or need more tips, feel free to ask. Tight lines and happy fishing! 🎣😊
THANK you so much I'm use to lures for crappie and bluegill because I go to my dad's resivor and saw a bass and ive caught bass on worms before but I have never tied it ive had someone else's rod or someone else ties it for me thanks you your a life savior
@HowToFish update a few weeks after that comment I actually did it! I caught the bass it was a beefy 2 pounder by brothers never believed me but once they saw the fish they where running over to me
@HowToFish thanks but there is bad news, because the resivor runs on canal water every year they turn the water off for winter and this year the resivor is super low and it's only been 1 week since it was turned off so sadly it might die but next year who knows maybe even a bigger one will emerge who knows
I have used this knot since my best friend showed me it when I was about 13 years old.Been using it for going on 52 years and I can'trecall ever having it break.
my dad tried teaching me a hard knot, so i decided to try learning on my own, my dad really helped me get on my first fish, he rlly enjoys fishing w/me and my line snaps so often, and hes getting tired of tieing knots, thank you this rlly helps
Gracious sakes that is a big beautiful hook. Thank you for this video. I'm at the camp trying to restring the line for my husband and surprise him and you really helped me out! Thank you for this simple video.
Thanks Johnny, maybe you want to try improved version of this not with one more loop at the nd which gives more strength to the knot ruclips.net/video/OecjoOkYAY0/видео.html
That knot is what we call a clinch knot. To even make it a better knot, do what we call an advance clinch knot. After you put your line through the hole where the eye of the hook is, continue to put your line through the large loop that you created after putting your line in the first hole. Wet it with your mouth so it slips better when you tighten the line.
+SwordofManticorE In the UK we call this a half blood knot, and if we put the line back through the large loop, that is called a tucked half blood knot. Both knots are very strong and reliable. Some comments below say this knot is unreliable. That means they haven't tied it properly...always do it carefully and remember to wet the knot before pulling it tight!
The reason for the improved clinch knot.Is the regular clinch knot will slip.I have fished both.The improved clinch knot is a great knot for most lure tie's.
I grew up without a father and have been wanting to go fishing for a while now. Never knew how to properly tie a fishing knot. The musics inspiring. Gonna make me cry.
Thank you so much for sharing your story. It means a lot to hear that my video could inspire you. Fishing can be a wonderful way to connect with nature and find some peace. I’m glad I could help with the fishing knots! If you ever have any questions or need more tips, feel free to reach out. Tight lines and happy fishing! 🎣
Today is my 3rd time fish and I did not know how to tie a knot I’m am very thankful for this video because if it wasn’t for this video I would not be able to fish today.
Thank you it's been ages since I went fishing with my grandad and now taking my first born for the 1st time and could not for the life of me remember any knots he taught me 😂
Thank you so much for posting an easy knot I could not find one my dad is always out of town and no one knew how to tie knots but I finally found out how because of this video
I have been fishing over a decade and I used this knot. I agree this is the #1 easiest knot. for hook and swivel. didn't find the easiest knot for crankbait yet if you can please show me. thank you
using the hook to spin/rotate/twist the line seems like an easier way to do this as shown in this video. Other videos i've seen showed the user's right hand/fingers going up & over with the tag end 5-7 times before cinching which seems a tad bit more difficult than this method.
Didn't know how to tie a fishing knot so I would have my dad do it for me but he was gone so I looked up this up video and it help me catch a big catfish
If this knot become untied then you either did it wrong! Or didn’t pull the knot hard enough! I grew up with this knot used 15ib main line to whatever, and leader 20-25ib to hook!
I know I am kinda late, but I just found this video and it helped me a lot! I caught a lot more fish with this knot, almost never breaks (never broke for me). Thank you.
Thank you I grew up without a father and my mom didn’t know how to tie a knot this video helped me catch my first bass!
Great to hear man 👍 good job
Same bro good job
Nice bro
I grew up without a father to! My awesome neighbors showed me how!!

Not only do you show it great, but you used a big hook and a big fishing line to make this easier for people like me. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!

@@sbyrumah ill try that now thanks. Glad I'm not the only one. I can pull this knot apart by hand lol.
@@sbyrumthe knot in the video is the clinch knot, by going through the other hole as you mentioned is the improved clinch knot.
The thinner the line the more twists you need to make knot stronger! This knot is not to be used with braided line. For braided line use Palomar knot!
My wife has never gone fishing before and we are about to use your teachings to catch her first fish 🤙🏽
I cannot express my gratitude enough. My son and I just watched this because we are going fishing tomorrow.
Hope you enjoyed it!

Dude this just came in clutch I just caught a massive carp with it when before I missed one because the hook came off THANK YOUUU
Glad I could help!
my favorite knot. it is so quick and easy. nice video.
FYI, this knot is called the Clinch Knot. The Improved Clinch Knot involves looping back through the main loop one more time before tightening the lines.
I saw the directions for both knots as a child. The directions may have been on a package of hooks or on a spool of fishing line or in a scout book.
Thank you very much for this tutorial, I'm starting fishing on Friday and I have no experience or knowledge about fishing this helped me a lot

I call in the 'improved clinch knot', rather than advanced, but same thing. I've been using it for over 25 years and it's never let me down.

This knot has never let me down, landed some giants using this knot, it's all about preference
Option - I like to run the line through the hook eye twice before twisting it. Seems to be a much stronger setup.
