One thing that makes it stronger is when you put the line through the loop, you don’t put it all the way through, then you put the line though the other loop you made
Use a Palomar Knot, and you'll never be disappointed again. Either of the "Cinch knots" are made for actual rope.... not fishing line. They are ok, if use braid, but the Palomar is the best, all around.
I was taught to do one additional step at the end and pass the end of the line back through the loop you formed as you thread it through the initial loop where your finger was.
I always go back through the top loop and you wet it before you pull it tight so it doesn’t stress the line that is the FISHEMANS KNOT and when you go through the top loop also it called the IMPROVED FISHERMANS KNOT
this is for everyone saying you should put the tang end through the last loop. yeah it might make it stronger but it doesn’t need to be stronger unless you are catching 300+ lb fish. me and many other people in hawaii have caught gt ranging from 10-125+ lbs without going back through the last loop🤙🏽
This is a valid knot.95% of the comments here are suggesting a different variation of the knot which is also valid, but this works well enough for most fishing and is easier for beginners to tie, etc.
Palamor knot is faster easier stronger and most of all DOESNT SLIP i wont ever use this knot again because it wont hold under pressure thats me if anyone want to use this go ahead but dont cry if you lose your pb thats my experience
Pass it through the eye twice then after wrapping the tag end around the main line pass it through both loops, wet the knot and tighten. This give a stronger more dependable knot and unlike the improved clinch knot your tag end will be lying flat facing the hook/lure not the main line where it can and will snag.
This is indeed the knot my Dad taught me. I have been fishing with it for 50 years and it’s never failed me, I have had hooks pull off, but in my experience it’s the hook eye that is not perfectly closed, NOT the knot. I have tried others as I have gotten older, but always return to this one.
This is the first knot I've learned. Thought I was doing something wrong because with enough tension, it would slip out. Then tried relearning the knot and yep..I was missing a step. Before tightening the knot, I put the tag end into the second loop I created and definitely stays put. No more knot slipping.
I used to use this knot for attaching hooks to hooklengths, while sea fishing here in the UK as its a nice slim knot. Downside to it is that the tag-end sticks out at 90deg, and splits lugworm and ragworms. I found that a uni knot worked better being as the tag end faces back up the line away from the hook. Much stronger too👍
They done a strength test of this knot with the new fishing lines on the market today and it actually showed it don’t matter whether you live or or not it’s the same strength. With the older lines we used it was a major deal to live the knot but with todays advanced lines it’s not a must. Go back through the loop at the top of the knot and cinch it down for a really stout knot. That little tid bit will be necessary for some smaller diameter lines they make today as well as this knot doesn’t hold without going back through the top loop on a few I’ve found.
Everybody talking about the improved clinch knot I've never used it and never had trouble. 90% of fishermen only need 4 knots. Clinch for mono, Palomar for braid, uni to uni to put lines together and a 3 o's knot for your 60-200lbs fluro/mono leaders. That's it. 4 knots.
My basic rule of thumb for basic or improved is if I'm using 10# (maybe 12# depending on water conditions) test or more I'm using the improved. Anything less than 10# test I'm not expecting to be catching monsters that are going to break my knot. For me they usually throw my hook 99 times out of 100 for every knot break on the basic on anything under 10# test. I'm not a saltwater fisherman so I'd consider 60# test a rope. 🤣🤣🤣 I'll stick to my lakes and rivers with my 4-12# test range. Maaaaaybe 14# if I'm going after real big Stripers running hard. I like a good challenge.
@@Mind_of_a_Very_Strange_Man hey man each their own lol. I usually run 60-80lbs braid on my main rigs (definitely saltwater and definitely overkill but I get tired of losing rigs to those 60lbs skates and 5' sharks. Remeber, no kill like overkill!) As for my mono I will use mono on a few reels I keep for gigging and I use those for freshwater bass, salt flounder/sheepshead/trout. I usually keep it rigged with 20lbs mono. Used to tie the improved but switch to basic and I dont think I've ever had a slip. I will admit I usually leave a slightly longer tag line that may allow the knot to really cinch up with big head jerks.
I have seen that knot unravel. You need to bring the tagline back through the other loop then cinch it all tight. Or double wrap through the eye of the hook.
I have used this knot for 20 years and it's never let me down I know alot of other knots but this one is good and no I don't lose more fish then anyone elce if tied correctly it's a good knot
I tied this knot when I first started fishing than the guy that got me into tournaments asked me what knot I was using after I broke off 4 times in one tournament. He said if I was to continue fishing with him I was to never tie this knot again lol.
U missed the final step of running the tag end back through the loop you made at the end. It’s very important and it keeps it from slipping or loosening
@@josephquinn7356 an improved clinch is better if you tie it perfectly, but it's easier to get a clean basic clinch. A clean basic > a bad improved. In reality, neither should be an impediment to catching fish. If you're regularly breaking knots it's most likely a technique issue rather than what knot was chosen. Tie the knot you're best at.
iirc thats called a half blood knot, you can tuck the tag end into the loop you make at the end before you pull it tight to make a tucked half blood knot
Also remember to ALWAYS lube and pull from the line end not the tail end you cut off. If done not like so you WILL lose the fish when hooked cause it was not synched properly.
Minimum of 5 loops or it will pull. For thicker line less is actually better. Thicker line is harder to make the knot really tight if there are too many loops . I sometimes purposely do only 3 loops when im bottom fishing because if it gets snagged all you gotta do is pull hard and the knot will slip. Leaves more line and you just cut the curly end off.
That's a clinch knot, if you bring it back through the top loop then pull it tight that's an improved clinch knot, improved clinch has landed me many fish over the years
Really? I’ve never lost one because of the knot. I’ve lost them because the hook eye wasn’t closed properly, but never my knot.. but after reading comments I tie the improved Cinch knot.
Imo the uni knot is the best all round fishing knot to know, it's strong, fast and easy to tie and can be used as a terminal knot, leader knot and even a loop knot if you don't tighten it all the way to the eye
Don't use this knot, "The Trilene Knot", if you're after bigger fish. It will slip, come untied, and you won't catch your fish. Use "The Modified Trilene Knot" or "The Palomar Knot". The line will break, before those come untied.
My process is very similar, but I feel stronger, I run the line through the loop and run it through the loop again, and then I do the rest of what you’ve just witnessed !
Actually there are three ways to tie it Double the line before going through the eye of the hook & make your twists & loops with the line doubled then lubricate & sinch it down tight Trim the double tag end st the bottom of the knot then the single end from the top This is the strongest way to tie it & will hold 100% in a break test The line will break in the main line every time & not in the know when stress tested Double clench knot
This line will slip if you use it on braid. As many here have said, use the 'Trilene knot' version where you take the tag end back through the loop ahead of the eye of the hook. With braid, you should go through the eye of the hook twice as well, helps it to not slip.
Also,if you just whirl your index finger in circles itll put those 7 wraps innit ten times faster than 10 seconds..js(ive tied literally a million clinch/improved clinch knots)
Its the old clinch knot. Going back through the loop you create before going through the loop by the eye is the improved clinch. Theres a good video from Gerad Swindle advising not to waste time cutting the tag end because of they don't care about feet of line going down to the hook, then why care about the half inch of tag.
I tie this knot but the difference is that I tie a couple over hand knots right on top of each other on where the tag end is and when I since this knot down it sinches down right on top of the overhand knots. I’ve never had a fish break it. I’ve pulled straightened hooks even but the knot has never been an issue.
That bad boy will slip on you real quick. Improved clinch knot is WAY better. I only use the regular clinch on 4# test or lighter when fly fishing. Doesnt slip and the improved clinch breaks half the time when you cinch it on such light line
Im so tired of people in comments making claims about things they dont understand. Clinch, inproved clinch, palomar, all have their time and place and use. Claiming palomar is the best raises the question of why stop there? Why no use a jam knot which is basically a 2 strand clinch? Which gives 0 stretch and more abrasion resistance?
Its call a clinch knot for those who are wondering and and improved clinch know when you put the tag end through the other loop you created. Then theres double clinch and improved double clinch. Thats when you start with your line folded over so its doubled up. Even stronger 💪
holy fuck...Dude, i been doing this knot for 30 yrs or more and never once have I thought about holding my finger between the line... Ive spent countless times trying to fit the damn line into a tiny hole... i feel like an idiot for even saying this.
After passing through the bottom loop with the tag end, Pass through the top loop that u made. I’ve tried the other way and it just slides out most of the time without going through both loops
Everyone saying you shouldve looped it back through.....ive been tying my hooks and lures exactly like this for 30 years and never have a problem. It works
If u put the line through the hook eye hole twice then put the line back through both loops. If u do it right ive had my poles break before my line or my hook straightened. People dont realize most of the time its there knot breaking or comming undone not the line breaking
Also I’ve noticed that this not tends to break off at the hook and not in the middle of the line. If you get hung up and have to break it off you leave less line behind.
One thing that makes it stronger is when you put the line through the loop, you don’t put it all the way through, then you put the line though the other loop you made
Oh thanks, good to know!
Yes. It’s called the improved clinch knot.
This is the only way to tie it and couldn’t have said it better myself 🙌🙌🙌
Thanks!!@@LightSpinAngler
yep improved clinch knot! use it all the time
It is the clinch knot. Passing through both loops gives you the improved clinch knot.
Yip!
Bro in australia we call it the hook knot
Blood knot or half blood knot in UK. But normally just blood knot.
Yep. An extra second and you have a superior knot.
A.k.a the fisherman's knot
I been using the clinch knot all my life. I learned it myself
I love it an it’s my fav
@SaskFisher I tried other knots while watching video on them. Nothing but a mess of knots
Make sure to loop it back into that other hole that was created when you put it through that first one
Nice!
The knot he showed was a cinch knot. The knot you're talking about is an improved cinch knot. Both have their different applications.
Use a Palomar Knot, and you'll never be disappointed again. Either of the "Cinch knots" are made for actual rope.... not fishing line. They are ok, if use braid, but the Palomar is the best, all around.
@@AmericansWillRisethank you someone with common sense the knot shown just slips try catching a 70lb carp 😂
@aarondavies8486 70?!?! You're lucky if you get 7# out of this knot.
I was taught to do one additional step at the end and pass the end of the line back through the loop you formed as you thread it through the initial loop where your finger was.
Yah thats wayyyy safer! hehe!
Same that's exactly what I do
I always go back through the top loop and you wet it before you pull it tight so it doesn’t stress the line that is the FISHEMANS KNOT and when you go through the top loop also it called the IMPROVED FISHERMANS KNOT
100%
Your right my grandpa and dad taught me this knot. I tend to do way more like 8or9turns depending on the size of hook or fly .
Nice
this is for everyone saying you should put the tang end through the last loop. yeah it might make it stronger but it doesn’t need to be stronger unless you are catching 300+ lb fish. me and many other people in hawaii have caught gt ranging from 10-125+ lbs without going back through the last loop🤙🏽
100% thank you !
I've been using this knot for over 50 years. I was told it's a clinch knot.

I always added one last pass through itself at the end. Never knew you could do without!
yip hehe 2 versions

@@SaskFisher my Vision is just not what it once was so this for me is the easiest and most efficient way to go
This the only knot I know 😂🤦🏽♂️ it’s just so easy and works well
I agree!
Won't work in braid on braid you got to use a polymer knot
O look up the polymer knot it's easier to tie and way stronger
Real fisherman know he missed the second part, therefore it’s more likely to slip.
Thats the improved Clinch, this is standard Clinch

I use it all the time! Love it
😢 about the same time .my dad too r.i.p.
Have had this knot come undone before under battle. I use a uniknot now with no problems .
100%
That’s a bold assumption to think my dad was around long enough to show me anything
Lol
You missed a loop, that knot will come undone much more often than an improved clinch
It can yup, but I was doing the basic version knot. Not improved.
@@SaskFisher yep, my dad taught me the basic knot and how to fish weedless rigged senkos and that’s about it so I remember that knot fondly
Oh awesome!@@ImGonnaChum
I have seen that knot unravel. You need to bring the tagline back through the other loop then cinch it all tight. Or double wrap through the eye of the hook.

Only amateurs say that
That's the one I was taught and almost exclusively use. Never had it fail on me yet

The almighty fishing knot 🤙😎

Nah that's the uni-knot lol
@@mikebanks6704 There are a few killer knots and I agree the uni is probably the best, this is just the one I use the most 🤣

Tie the knot you're best at.
Lubrications and fingers in the bottom? Count me in dad
haha
That's exactly the knot i used as a kid and still on very small islets. Use the Palomar for pretty much anything else.🤙
Awesome! Yip
You know how you twist the line around the line if you just hold both ends and spin the finger that's in the loop you're golden 😅
haha yah
I was told this was called a “fisherman’s knot”
Yip, same thing
I’ve always passed it through the eye twice…then wrapped and cinched. Use this for fly fishing.
Nice

The Basic Clinch Knot has failed me many times so I quit using it. Now I use a double threaded Improved Clinch Knot and have never had a problem.
Yah its a 50/50 ha ha
Twist it 6 or 7 times and then run it thru the back side of the 1st knot. Not the front side. Works better and the knot looks cleaner also.
Nice!
My dad sure did teach me it!😂
Its awesome!
If you stick a lighter to the clipped off end and just make a little blob it will help keeping it from coming apart.
Awesome, good to know
I didn’t know anybody still used this version.
Lots do yip
Yep it was the second knot my father taught me after tying my shoe laces was the fisherman’s knot
Well done!
Me too! Fisherman's knot
I always run the tag end back through the top loop
Advanced Clinch is a good one yip
Minimum of 5 loops or it will pull. For thicker line less is actually better. Thicker line is harder to make the knot really tight if there are too many loops . I sometimes purposely do only 3 loops when im bottom fishing because if it gets snagged all you gotta do is pull hard and the knot will slip. Leaves more line and you just cut the curly end off.

Thats a good one yip!
yep, learned that as a laddybuck. havent used that knot in 40 years
Nice! I use it a lot
We call this pig tail knot after we lost a big fish when it came undone. Never again
Haha yah
Won't even try to hold on braid or large mono like 80 lb and up we use a polymer knot on braid and a uni on large mono
Ive used this knot for years it is the best
agree!!
Use the improved clinch knot, that looks to me like it will break away easier.
True
thank u I subed great knot
Thanks!! I love it when I can help someone. Let me know how big your next catch is!
My dad actually taught me this 👍
Nice! Me too
That's a clinch knot, if you bring it back through the top loop then pull it tight that's an improved clinch knot, improved clinch has landed me many fish over the years
100%
This is what they call a fisherman’s knot. It’s better to loop the tag back through for a stronger knot
For sure! I love it and have always used it
My dad thought me that I like that knot
Me too!
That was my go to knot but after loosing so many hooks and bait at the bottom of the pond I switched to the double pinzer
Haha yah that sucks
Really? I’ve never lost one because of the knot. I’ve lost them because the hook eye wasn’t closed properly, but never my knot.. but after reading comments I tie the improved Cinch knot.
Imo the uni knot is the best all round fishing knot to know, it's strong, fast and easy to tie and can be used as a terminal knot, leader knot and even a loop knot if you don't tighten it all the way to the eye
That was my go to knot when I started fishing. Now I only use the uni and Palomar. Best two knots in my opinion.
I pulled a christmas tree off the bottom of a lake with 8lb mono and this knot
Dude that was my tree! 🌲
That note is called the clinch knot
yip
Don't use this knot, "The Trilene Knot", if you're after bigger fish. It will slip, come untied, and you won't catch your fish. Use "The Modified Trilene Knot" or "The Palomar Knot". The line will break, before those come untied.
Good info!
My process is very similar, but I feel stronger, I run the line through the loop and run it through the loop again, and then I do the rest of what you’ve just witnessed !
Oh 👍 nice
I prefer the uni-knot but that's another good one to know
Yah this ones bad honestly but easiest and I still use it lol
Actually there are three ways to tie it
Double the line before going through the eye of the hook & make your twists & loops with the line doubled then lubricate & sinch it down tight
Trim the double tag end st the bottom of the knot then the single end from the top
This is the strongest way to tie it & will hold 100% in a break test
The line will break in the main line every time & not in the know when stress tested
Double clench knot
Thanks! Good to know.
That will slip out every single time you have to go back through the other loop
Works for me, maybe you're doing it wrong?
This line will slip if you use it on braid. As many here have said, use the 'Trilene knot' version where you take the tag end back through the loop ahead of the eye of the hook. With braid, you should go through the eye of the hook twice as well, helps it to not slip.
For sure 100%
Using braid you're better off with a Palomar knot.
Also,if you just whirl your index finger in circles itll put those 7 wraps innit ten times faster than 10 seconds..js(ive tied literally a million clinch/improved clinch knots)
Sweet I’ll try that
heres the fun part i didnt get taught this by my dad i actually taught this to my dad
haha awesome!
Go through the eye twice and its a trilene knot! Way stronger as you have 2 loops around your eye.
for sure!
This is my favorite knot. It doesn’t come undone when tied well the line is more likely to come undone than the knot
For sure
And it's called a clinch knot and it will slide through itself with enough pressure but if you throw a half hitch in it at the end it will not
100%
Its the old clinch knot. Going back through the loop you create before going through the loop by the eye is the improved clinch. Theres a good video from Gerad Swindle advising not to waste time cutting the tag end because of they don't care about feet of line going down to the hook, then why care about the half inch of tag.
Oh nice! Good info
I was taught to run it back through the loop
Yip, thats the improved version
The {unimproved} Clinch Knot. 😳
Hahaah yip
You missed the last part, going through the second loop
Thats the improved. This is basic clinch
I tie this knot but the difference is that I tie a couple over hand knots right on top of each other on where the tag end is and when I since this knot down it sinches down right on top of the overhand knots. I’ve never had a fish break it. I’ve pulled straightened hooks even but the knot has never been an issue.
Nice! for sure
That bad boy will slip on you real quick. Improved clinch knot is WAY better. I only use the regular clinch on 4# test or lighter when fly fishing. Doesnt slip and the improved clinch breaks half the time when you cinch it on such light line
i agree
This knot is great for fly fishing, wenn you have to change you fly but not loos a lot of your fishing line.
And he stay fine an small
Very true!
Improved clinch knot is all i use. But i snell all my hooks, clinch knots are for everything else
Oh awesome!
Im so tired of people in comments making claims about things they dont understand. Clinch, inproved clinch, palomar, all have their time and place and use. Claiming palomar is the best raises the question of why stop there? Why no use a jam knot which is basically a 2 strand clinch? Which gives 0 stretch and more abrasion resistance?
So many different knots, I just did the basic one lol.
If yk yk lol, gotta love tree bass , and those tanks of a fish hook ups at the bottom 🤣 😂 🤪
For sure!
Its call a clinch knot for those who are wondering and and improved clinch know when you put the tag end through the other loop you created. Then theres double clinch and improved double clinch. Thats when you start with your line folded over so its doubled up. Even stronger 💪
Well done!
Someone had to let em know what the knot you tied is called. I was like, what the heck showing knots with no name should be illegal lol
Oh and thank you. Appreciate that broski
My dad taught me the running man
Very nice! Haven’t heard that name. Sweet
holy fuck...Dude, i been doing this knot for 30 yrs or more and never once have I thought about holding my finger between the line... Ive spent countless times trying to fit the damn line into a tiny hole... i feel like an idiot for even saying this.
Haha all good!! GLAD I helped someone then!
The first I learned but definitely not the strongest.
for sure!
Put back in top loop and its improved clinch good knot
100%
Haha just kinda got into fishing and my dad showed me this knot
Sweet, it works great!
Simple clinch knot but better to tie the improved clinch knot by putting tag thru top loop too...
100%
May be a good knot as for fishing purposes I never had much luck with it and no longer use it.
it's a 50/50
You must be fishing for bluegill
Anything that bites lol
After passing through the bottom loop with the tag end, Pass through the top loop that u made. I’ve tried the other way and it just slides out most of the time without going through both loops
Awesome
Everyone saying you shouldve looped it back through.....ive been tying my hooks and lures exactly like this for 30 years and never have a problem. It works
Me too!
I do it a little different. After you go through the loop you put the tag in back through the top loop you created and then cinch it
Correct that’s improved clinch, this is basic
Ive been using this knot since i was a kid. Its a "no fail" knot.
I've had great luck
That's half of the knot my older brother taught me, he called it the double eight looper
It's actually pretty awesome how many people on here know my only fishing knot. Followed by a half hitches of course just for shots and giggles
Shits dagummit
Hah yah no kiddin
If u put the line through the hook eye hole twice then put the line back through both loops. If u do it right ive had my poles break before my line or my hook straightened. People dont realize most of the time its there knot breaking or comming undone not the line breaking
I agree
I do the triline knot it’s a very good knot
Nice!
Also I’ve noticed that this not tends to break off at the hook and not in the middle of the line. If you get hung up and have to break it off you leave less line behind.
Good to know

advanced clinch knot
That knot he tied will slip. You have to put it through the eye hole of the hook and then trough the loop
Agreed
The only knot i ever used
It's good!
Nothing beats Palomar knott.
For sure!
