1. **Double the Line**: Take about 6 inches of line and double it back to create a loop.
2. **Insert the Loop**: Pass the loop through the eye of the lure.
3. **Tie an Overhand Knot**: With the doubled line and the lure, tie a simple overhand knot, but don’t tighten it yet. You should have a loop around the lure.
4. **Pass the Lure Through the Loop**: Take the lure and pass it through the loop you created in step 3.
5. **Tighten the Knot**: Wet the knot with a little water or saliva to reduce friction, then pull on both ends of the line to tighten it securely against the lure.
6. **Trim the Tag End**: Cut off any excess line from the tag end to finish.
The Palomar knot is favored because it maintains a high percentage of line strength and is reliable under pressure. It works great for a variety of lures, from crankbaits to jigs!
Another good option is the Improved Clinch Knot, especially if you’re using lighter lines. It’s also easy to tie and provides a secure hold. Just remember to moisten the knot before tightening to ensure it holds strong.
Happy fishing!
