Five Top Knot Tips
1) Always moisten your knots before tightening and tighten slowly and firmly.
2) High-tech lines do not respond very well to some knots. Always check, and if you are not happy with your knot, change it. The 'Xtreme" Knot is particularly good for high-tech knots.
3) Knots must look right. A bad looking knot usually is a bad knot. Cut it off and start again.
4) Don't learn too many knots. The Double Overhand Loop, Xtreme Knot, Bloodknot and the Half Bloodknot will cover most of your needs.
5) Never bite knots after tying. Use a pair of small, sharp scissors, or clippers, to trim them.
