🪢 Improved Clinch Knot

Step-by-Step

1. 1

   Thread 6 inches of line through the eye of the hook or lure

   💡 Wet the line first — dry knots weaken the line

2. 2

   Wrap the tag end around the main line 5-6 times going away from the hook

3. 3

   Pass the tag end back through the loop nearest the hook eye

4. 4

   Pass the tag end through the large loop you just created

5. 5

   Wet the knot, then pull the main line and tag end simultaneously to tighten

6. 6

   Trim the tag end to about 1/8 inch

   💡 Leave a tiny bit — cutting too close can cause slippage
