This is by far the best technique I have seen on how to tie double San diago Jam knot! It is easier and faster. Great job on this video.

Thx4the clip. i like your content. My only 'issue' with this demo is how you counted the 5 turns.... it appears that turn #1 took a full 360⁰, but each of the next 4 turns are only 180⁰, or what i'd call half-turns. So if all 5 turns were like the first, that's 5 x 360 = 1800⁰ of travel. Compare that to 1 x 360⁰ + (4 x 180⁰) =1080⁰. Big diff! It's easy to make such mis-counts. It happens, but for the most consistent results, we'd better both define what constitutes a complete turn, and replicate it throughout the stranding.

I wonder how it will perform with just single line, not doubled up.
@KAYSBRANCH7 ай бұрын
decker5479 says that will help with tying on glide baits. You were using a swivel. Swivels don't have gigantic three pronged treble hooks that you can bury into your palm or fingers while you are trying to hold the glide bait still and do all the wrapping, looping, and finalizing before you pull the knot tight around the nose ring. Perhaps "tying a san-diego jam knot to an actual bait in under a minute" might help all of us see how you navigate the hooks and still make it look easy. Just a thought. Granted tying the swivel onto the line and connecting the swivel to the bait is optimal, but some fisherman like to tie direct.

As an avid fresh and saltwater fisherman for over 40 years I have only used one knot the entire time… good ole advanced clinch knot! It’s never failed me over the years and I cannot remember a time when the knot failed before my line broke! Also, the only line I use for everything is Izorline xxx copolymer… under the radar for decades 🎣

In my tests the trilene knot with 10 turns around the line beats it. If using Fluoro make 3 turns instead of 2 around the hook eye.

I commented on the previous video and will here too. This is the only knot I use! It is very strong! The knot will not (pun intended) fail! I pair this knot with 14# Gamma Edge Fluorocarbon Line and I straighten hooks before I break line or the knot fails.

I had a 4/0 Hayabusa Magnum Circle Hook snap after a long battle with I believe had to have been a 60+ lbs Yellowtail (Baja Cali. waters). I called for a gaff (party boat out of San Diego) when I saw it about 20' deep off the stern. By the time one of the crew came strolling up, the fish was gone. The knuckle head told me that I must have tied a bad knot. He apologized when he saw the busted hook and a very intact SD Jam knot. Never had the knot fail on me.

@rangaroo63854 жыл бұрын
I started fishing for the first time ever in my life this week, had all the theory on rigs and "experience" from playing Fishing Planet. Then tied a kindergarten grade "double knot" to connect my swivel to main line and leader line (fluorocarbon). Jokes aside, I was unimpressed when i lost my entire business end of the tackle on my very first cast. Fluorocarbon knot came undone and flew right off. 😑

Been practicing. After you cinch the knot down, if you pull on just the loop end, is the knot suppose to slide up the main line?
@jimishmong5 жыл бұрын
Scotty B knot suppose to slide towards where you tied it to. Not sure if you mean slide up as in away from the lure or towards the lure. Make sure to wet the knot beforehand
@NytronX3 жыл бұрын
Lubricate the knot and the line leading to the hook/lure heavily with water or saliva. Pinch and slowly pull all three ends (the main line, the tag end, and the loop) to move the knot down towards the lure/hook eye. Once you're nearly at the hook, pull just the loop to tease the knot into proper form. Then pull both the main line and the tag end simultaneously. Then loop, then main & tag, then main.
@colobisman6132 Жыл бұрын
Yes it should, that's what makes it a cinch knot. Only tighten by pulling the main and single tag end.

@FishingFamilyFun6 жыл бұрын
I hear many people say that "the line breaks before the knot". In many cases, I see the line curled up from cinching down the knot. I have to wonder 2 things: 1. Does it weaken the line where you cinched the knot? 2. Does the curl cause a slack causing a "slack set" when you set the hook that directs the pressure to that point when the line straightens out?
@Nochift1385 ай бұрын
5 Years later: Friction. Wetting the knot before cinching it down acts as lubrication to reduce the friction.

I have been using this knot for awhile and recently saw a video that showed it differently, only wrapping around the two loops but not the main line. If I am seeing it right, your video shows only wrapping around the two loops, but your diagram shows wrapping around the main line as well. Including the main line in the wrap has been working for me for years.

Hi Randy- glad to hear you are so lucky. Its a few more turns then the Clinch but not that different. As I mentioned, I do this knot at home, before fishing. P.s.- It is also a great dropshot knot which I'm not sure the Clinch is.

Just because you use one knot for all your applications, doesn't mean everyone has to be like you. Why are you here on KZbin looking at videos on how to tie knots if you already have your go-to knot? There is nothing wrong with knowing several knots, and in fact an improved clinch knot won't cover every need for fishing unless you are only doing one type of fishing. There are knots for braid to mono and shock leader knots that are specifically for surf casting, knots that create loops and knots that don't. I know this because I recently tied a knot that was jamming up against the eye of my lure and hindering it from freely moving. I retied using a uni knot leaving some room in the loop and fixed the issue. Give more permission to the human race to learn.
@NytronX3 жыл бұрын
I can tie the Doubled SDJ in less than a minute as well. If you're in a hurry, the Doubled Pitzen is an option which is way better than the improved clinch knot.
