fisherchad+FollowEvery angler needs to master the loop knot for big catchesAfter losing a good fish years ago to a stiff knot, I started using loop knots—especially the non-slip mono loop—and never looked back. They give your lures or flies way more freedom to move, which can make a huge difference when the bite’s tough. Here’s a quick breakdown: 1️⃣ Tie loose overhand knot, leave 5-6" tag end 2️⃣ Thread through lure eye, back through overhand knot 3️⃣ Wrap tag around main line (4-5 wraps light line, 3 for heavy) 4️⃣ Back through overhand knot again 5️⃣ Pinch knot, pull tag end slowly to tighten 6️⃣ Final pull both ways, trim excess The loop gives lures freedom to pivot and dance with every twitch. Works up to 40lb line and way stronger than you'd think - I've landed big fish on this knot! Anyone else swear by loop knots? #fishing #FishingKnots #LureFishing #FishingTips292Share
fisherchad+Followthree knots and you're ready to fishBeen fishing for years now, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this—don’t overcomplicate it. I stick to three go-to knots: palomar for braid, uni for mono and fluoro, and a weird figure-8/uni combo for leaders (it passed the break test last year!). I prefer lures, but live bait still catches more. Also, don’t sleep on used gear—it works. Just match your bait to your target fish and enjoy the process. What’s the one fishing tip you always give to beginners? #fishing #fishingtips #beginnerfishing #fishingknots171Share
fisherchad+FollowIf your knot’s solid, you don’t need gear crutchesStop relying on snaps and swivels! Double uni knots slide through guides like butter, Palomar knots never fail on terminal tackle. My setup: braid mainline with mono backer, 6-10' leader. Just grabbed Yo Zuri super fluro after losing a PB to abrasion last week (double uni held though! 😅). Check your line constantly for nicks, especially around knots. That's where most breaks happen. Proper knots > extra hardware every time. #fishing #fishingtips #fishingknots150Share
fisherchad+FollowThis knot saved me from losing more bass! 🎣Lost 3 massive bass because my knots kept slipping when setting the hook - so frustrating! Switched to this knot and haven't had a single failure since. Takes practice but way easier than fisherman's knots and less annoying than Palomar with treble hooks. Only downside is single line through the eye vs double, but the reliability is worth it! #fishing #FishingTips #KnotTying #FishingKnots8526Share
