Step-by-Step Instructions to Tie a Palomar Knot

Palomar Knot is a fundamental and reliable knot in fishing, known for maintaining a significant portion of the line’s original strength while being relatively easy to tie, even for fishing beginners. This versatile knot works well with a wide variety of fishing lines, from monofilament to braided lines, and can be applied to hooks, swivels, or lures.

Complete Introduction to Tying the Palomar Knot

1. Double the Fishing Line:
   • Begin by doubling the fishing line, leaving approximately 6 to 12 inches of doubled section at the end.
   • Slide the doubled part through the eye of the hook or lure from the bend towards the shank.
2. Form an Overhand Knot:
   • Hold the looped section close to where it meets the mainline.
   • Create an overhand knot as if you were starting to tie a simple loop around the standing part of the line, ensuring that the hook or lure sits inside this loop.
3. Thread the Loop Through the Eye Again:
   • Pass the entire loop you’ve created back over the eye of the hook or lure, moving it above the eye and then down through the large opening made by the overhand knot.
4. Secure and Tighten the Knot:
   • Before cinching the knot tight, dampen it slightly (with saliva or water) to reduce friction and ensure a tighter bind.
   • Slowly pull both ends of the doubled line simultaneously until the knot tightens around the eyelet and snugly fits against the shank of the hook. The knot should compress and lay flat.
5. Finalize and Trim Excess Line:
   • Once tightened, carefully examine the knot to confirm it is properly seated and secure.
   • After verifying its integrity, trim the excess tag ends closely to the knot, being cautious not to cut them too close, which might compromise the knot’s strength.
