How do I tie a fishing hook to a swivel?
Tying a fishing hook to a swivel is a basic skill that every angler should know. There are many different ways to do it, but the most common and effective method is the Palomar knot. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to tie a Palomar knot:
- Pass the end of the line through the eye of the hook.
- Double the line over and pass it through the eye of the swivel.
- Bring the doubled line back through the eye of the hook.
- Pull the doubled line through the loop created in Step 2.
- Wet the knot and cinch it down.
Here are some additional tips for tying a Palomar knot:
- Use a sharp hook to make it easier to thread the line.
- Wet the knot before cinching it down to help it slide more easily.
- Practice tying the knot a few times before you go fishing to make sure you have it down.
