A tutorial on how to tie a Aussie Plait fishing knot.

The finish on that knot is great. I have seen ways where its tied with a half hitch, this way looks much stronger and streamlined.

Thanks Strike_it_Fishing I do believe this way is stronger and easier to tie than with half hitches.

nicely explained. i didnt know the Aussie plait was not for braid. why is that ?

Thanks mate, When the Plait is tied properly in mono it stretches and helps with the knot strength. To tie a double in braid just use a Bimini as it is easy and quick to tie and works very well in braid.
