[dave1985]

alright lads
im having probems tying knots in my 60lb main body of the rig (shockleader). im trying to tie a lead clip to the bottom of my rig, whats the best knot to use thanks

 

[<(Andy2009)>]

I use a simple 6 turn half blood knot, strong as anything.

I think i use a half blood knot
Push line through the loop
make 4-5 turns around the line
Push tag end back through the 1st loop
Moisten the knot and pull

Thats the one that a use matey, spot on.

Use it for both attaching clips and swivels to rigs and clips to the end of me shockleader. :thumbup:

Aye, same as previous, just make sure you pull it tight slowly so all the loops are in place properly. Strong as anything I think.

Simple enough to tie like a find the more loops you put in tho te knot ends up horrible
Although its never let me down yet like

i uses a overhand loop and use the loop to loop into swivel/clip...make it easy to wind into reel after end of session no damage to rings and also not let me down so far.
