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:

  1. Pass the end of the line through the eye of the hook.
  2. Double the line over and pass it through the eye of the swivel.
  3. Bring the doubled line back through the eye of the hook.
  4. Pull the doubled line through the loop created in Step 2.
  5. 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.
