You know it's a bad TV night when I am practicing my knot tying.
I was surprised when I searched the site that there was no posts on knot tying.
Interesting exercises that come in handy for boating and general use.
Maybe someone else will find these useful.
I would beg to differ that the bowline is a knot that is easily untied. True heavy weighted use and use a hatchet to remove. Bowline with a "bight" much more success untying.
The knot I use for creating a "loop" in a fishing line is the "Rapala". With my fat fingers a real chore. Any of you fellows use other loop knots for fishing (surgeons loop or others)? I was taught the Rapala knot by my dad and trust it. I would love to learn an easier trustworthy fishing knot for tying my fishing rigs.
I've been using this method for loop knots for about a year now. As long as the tag end points "rearward" after I've pulled the knot tight, I've yet to have a knot failure. At first I got some pretty big loops, but with practice , the loops are nice and small.
