Fisherman's Knot
- The Fisherman's knot is used to tie two ropes of equal thickness
together. It is used by fishermen to join fishing line, and is very
effective with small diameter strings and twines.
- Tie a Thumb knot, in the running end of the
first rope around the second rope. Then tie a thumb knot in the second
rope, around the first rope. Note the Thumb knots are tied such they lie
snugly against each other when the standing ends are pulled.
- When tying knots in monofilament line, moisten the line before pulling
the knot tight. This helps to stop the line heating up with friction, which
weakens it.
