Tying a fishing hook to a line is a fundamental skill for any angler. A well-tied knot can mean the difference between landing a fish and losing your bait. There are many different knots that can be used to tie a hook to a line, but the Palomar knot is one of the most popular and versatile. It is strong, reliable, and easy to tie, even with cold or wet hands.
The Palomar knot is a two-step knot. First, you create a small loop in the end of your line and pass the hook through the loop. Then, you wrap the end of the line around the standing line five times and pass it back through the loop. Finally, you moisten the knot and pull it tight.
