Knot Tying Tips

• Always wet the knot with water or saliva before tightening — friction heat weakens line.
• Pull knots tight with steady pressure, not a quick jerk.
• Leave a short tag (about 1/8 inch) so the knot can't slip.
• Test every knot with a firm pull before you cast.
• Retie after catching a big fish or if your line looks nicked or frayed.
