NO MORE TANGLED RIGS WITH THIS KNOT! T-Knot Tutorial

[@hoodiedee4828]

I never had a Dad to show me things but thank God for a great Mom that took me fishing. Cherish Every moment with your Dad while he is here and you'll have no regrets when he is gone. Be blessed and keep tight lines

[@moises030190]

This makes me miss my dad greatly. He was a great angler and wanted to pass down his knowledge to me, but unfortunately I just wasnt interested as a kid and into my teens. Now that he's gone I regret every time I didnt go fishing with him. Now in my late 20's im finally into fishing and theres not a day that goes by that I wish I was fishing with my old man. Thank you for having your dad on the channel. Invite him more if you can. Nothing like an OG passing down knowledge to his son and sharing that with us. Truely, thank you.

[@HeySkipper]

Thanks for sharing your story moises, this really resonated with me. I feel very lucky that I can go fishing with my dad when we can. Happy to have him on the show with me ... remember that your dad is right there fishing with you every time you go out because you are partly him as well

[@Jose-su8fr]

Keep up the fishing bro, you’re dad will be lookin down on ya just like mine. Lost my dad when I was around 1 now 13 and I too wish he was here to fish with me, but keep it up and I wish you tight lines!

[@2StansFishing]

Powerfully story! I'm 50 n my dad passed last summer! To this day I remember fishing adventures from when I was a lil kid! And I also rem so many lessons just like this, how to tie diff rigs, taking care of equipment, how to clean the fish we were gonna keep, proper handling of fish, etc etc! Sorry to hear of ur loss, but like Skipper said ur father is there with u now n so proud that u've picked up fishing! That part of him that liked fishing is in you n that part of him is u! So he will be with u 4ever! N that's what is amazing bout fishing, u r always learning n always a chance to make memories mentoring some1, doesn't have to be Father son , it can be ur friend , it can be some kids u see out fishing with 5/0 hook n a rubber worm 10" under a giant white n red bobber lol Teaching n passing on my knowledge has been some of my most memorable n rewarding experiences n if u do that in ur father's honor it's even better!

[@marcelarispe]

Everytime you go fishing, he's most likely there with you bro.

[@marciananton9226]

I'm in my 40s and my dad use to go fishing and I wasn't interested either. Now I want to go everyday and wish he could teach me stuff.

[@johnalvey3435]

I love how your dad says, " no, no you have to do it for yourself so you learn" then points out problems but keeps it in your hands. That is a 1st class dad teaching method, let you make mistakes and help you learn from them!

[@wargrunt2002]

I agree with you totally. My dad unfortunately never took interest in spending time with my brother and I, but the way you wrote your comment is exactly how I strive to be with my two sons.

[@varunkadakkal883]

Exactly

[@MissSugarland4Ever]

I was just going to say the same thing! He sounds like he’s an amazing father!!!

[@whocares4464]

💯 you can watch someone do this 100x but until you do it yourself you will never learn!!!

[@jaegerolfa]

Exactly how my Granddaddy and Pawpaw taught me and the same I’m teaching my son. I’ll explain, you try, then we work on it together.

[@timw911]

I hope you know how special it is to have a father like you have and the relationship you two have. Spend as much time as possible as time goes by in a flash. Your dad is awesome. Fathers passing down knowledge is something that is being lost in all cultures in our modern world. Cherish it and do the same for your kids and start when they are young.

[@naj3515]

I enjoy watch great father/son lessons. So nice to see a father teaching his son fishing

[@Vahliant0]

Definitely one of my favorite episodes. I have a 12 year old son and he’s finally interested in fishing! Lost my old man when I was only a few year old. I’ve been into fishing ever since I could remember. Hoping to make memories that my father and I couldn’t. I’ve learned so much from your channel and I’m looking to pass on the knowledge your father passed in to you. Keeping fishing!

[@Papatabb69]

Bless you Joseph and bless your lil man you're a great father foe wanting to teach him the things your pops taught you. 🙏 💜

[@missmushroomcrochet]

I love your dad, he has all the teaching aspects I love, serious and funny at the same time. I’m making this rig tonight for obx !!! Thx

[@katherinepoindexter4380]

always, always, listen to your dad. He is not only a wealth of information about fishing but about life as well. He is precious.

[@mcaddc]

I have seen many ways to tie a dropper loop and this is, to me the best way. Less tangles, better bait presentation. I appreciate & have great Respect for the old folks for imparting their knowledge and experience.

[@HeySkipper]

I’ll relay the message to pops

[@evolutionofyou5339]

You have. A great dad I enjoy watching y’all. When he said I should have let you mess up. So you would know. ❤️❤️💯💯he’s a great dad. AMAZING teacher Thanks. For the invite into your life

[@prestonward7533]

Glad to see a father son teaching together. My dad bailed on my family when I was 16. I have 2 siblings that are younger than me. My brother was 7 when our dad left. I'm 65 and my dad is still living but he never communicates with us. So, Hey Skipper you are blessed to have a great dad who is willing and eager to join you in your fishing. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Make sure and enjoy every minute with your pop. Your blessed!

[@HeySkipper]

Wow, this gives me so much perspective, thank you so much for sharing

[@i_am_mcsee]

Thanks Dad, good to see you teaching Skipper a thing or two. Great knot by the way.

[@willymakeit5172]

Your dad sounds like a very knowledgeable and accomplished fisherman. Thanks for letting me learn from him.

[@dougiemac8417]

LOL!!! Your Dad has a great sense of humor. Man what I would give to have my Dad teach me simple things like knot tying and fishing. You are truly blessed. By the way...Awesome video!!

[@antoniotorres1263]

I love the part when dad said, " Get me a cup of water.", son immediately responds. Now that's what I call a father and son love-respect relationship. Glad to know me and my dad aren't the only ones that share that.. #FISHON

[@HeySkipper]

#respect

[@yoman5136]

It’s a cultural thing, I know 22 years married

[@allanrogerson4585]

I love the concept of of a tangle free hook length but I fear that time and usage are undoing of the tangle free rig - AllanX 😎

[@lonniechartrand]

Great video! Loved seeing you and your dad interacting with each other!

[@Chrispena86]

I have used this method so many times since I’ve watched this video. One time I was on a canoe flaring in Angle Lake here in Washington state I hooked TWO bass at the same time but I wasn’t able to bring them in. They both fought themselves oF my hooks soon as they came to the surface . Since then I’ve used thiS thank you!!

[@MagnusSentDooM]

Nothing like fishing with family. My best memories are fishing with my dad. Wish he was more patient and calm like your dad is but I still learned a lot and had a blast fishing as a teen. 20 years of fishing off and on, I'm finally getting back into fishing buying gear/tackle, watching your videos to learn new things to get me and my family onto some fish. I want to share the joy I had of fishing with my wife and 3 year old daughter! Keep making great videos!

[@nareeeely]

Commenting for the 2nd time, THANK YOU FOR THIS KNOT, you have no idea the change this video made to my fishing, give huge thanks to your dad and tell him around half a ton of fish have been caught because of him, and not ONE break failure in the knot.

[@zaidel77500]

Three things I love about this video: The instructions about the T-know, the father and son interaction (reminds me of my old man), and the Mitchel 300 reels on the back!

[@danielcarter5537]

You know you're learning from a wise master, when you are struggling to find words to explain what he's doing to your viewers! Also, I like how patient he is in showing people, who are less experienced, how to do something complex like this. Although it's probably easy for him!

[@mjddsc]

Nice; as a father of two who are about your age, I’m really happy to see you having your Dad be part of your focused endeavor and letting him teach you...so cool!

[@kevin_1979]

I have a feeling that your old man is the person at a party that when he talks everyone shuts up because he's about to say something brilliant.

[@normantewara5540]

Right😂

[@americanfishingadventures5486]

Jesus your dads knot looked beautiful!! OMG he is a PRO!! Great content!! New subscriber!!

[@scottmichael3745]

Great "knot art", great dad. Great tutorial. I've watched your videos for about 2 years or so. You're a fine fisherman, but you are a product of your upbringing. Kudos to dad for raising such a fine young man!!! I will continue to await your next video.. well done sir.

[@HeySkipper]

Thank you:) I’m happy that you are in our community!

[@georgeaustralia464]

It is just so beautiful to see u close to your father ,, and as for dad ,,, Thank you so much for your valuable knowledge ! ! ! Love your channel ! ! !

[@joelhouse7533]

Enjoyed the Father and son interaction. And learning to tie this rig.

[@glorymarrivera298]

Love your dad!! This video was super helpful!! Thank you!! My fiancé and I learned so much!

[@joshuasnore3600]

What a great father...! He showed you, but he let you mess it up so you would know how to fix it yourself...! This is the exact way I teach my sons.

[@khayree]

It is so beautiful to watch you and your father together.❤️

[@scrumper10]

This is how it’s been done through the centuries Father to Son. Cherish every moment with your Dad and keep learning!

[@rasthakiran163]

Shout out to all the dads in this world inspiring their kids as well as other kids. I have learnt a new thing that can help me. Thanks a lot for this video.

[@williamrendall134]

Very good and this knot allows me to do a four rig out for tying fly's on, when the gut has been cut, Thank you very much lads.

[@dondig2617]

Great dad, I like his attitude.

[@longrider42]

I learned this knot back in 84 when fishing the piers of southern California. We called it a Surgeons Loop knot. I still use it today.

[@gnarwhalsw8296]

Surgeons Loops is waaaay different and a whole lot easier. You can make a surgeons loop in like 3 seconds and itll serve the same purpose just not nearly as strong

[@jonwaite1601]

Best dropper knot ever by the best dad ever! Lots of technique here - and not just fishing. Thanks for the vid!

[@yuripolkavich7469]

This is great fishing Intel, keep it coming, and mad props to your father, he's a wise man.

[@adeforest]

I have used this T-knot the past two outings and I must say it has performed fantastically! Definitely, catching more fish. Thanks guys.

[@RedfishCarolina]

Oh this looks like a perfect variation on the dropper loop, I'll be using this on chicken rigs for bottom fishing.

[@hermanprice5375]

I'm learning new knot techniques & the twisting mono line you did in another video I gotta refer back. Just got a new Penn tackle bag & it has a 10 sleeve binder & I wanna fill it with various leaders. I'm happy a recently found your channel.

"NO NO NO NO NO, you have to hold it yourself" I'm in tears!

[@samshotgun6530]

Your dad is awesome! Treasure him, And his knowledge. Great knot too!

[@derrickdzurko2068]

Please tell your Dad, Derrick said thank you so much, I had been to trying learn this setup and now I know. My issue was pulling the line up to find the hook circled around main line. Grateful to your Sir!

[@obdrumguard]

excellent knot and good job teaching gentlemen! You should mention that after you tie the initial "t-knot" you need to follow it up with a dropper loop. That's the name of the second knot dad was tying which further helps the hook to standoff away from the rig! Again excellent video. Thank You

[@christopherjohnson9928]

Poor job of showing and describing 2nd knot.

[@lawrencemassey4848]

Great knot, even better video! My first video of yours, sure won't be the last. Mad respect for your father and you. Thank you Lawrence

[@dmvfishingwithlt8823]

This rig is going to save a lot of people a lot of money. especially when fishing rocky spot and loosing rigs. Cool Tip man.

[@carlosperez-zh6kn]

So cool to have pops hanging out and learning simple life lessons priceless treasure the quality time together.

[@davewilliams1656]

Thanks for the great tip...I've used both of those knots to make dropper loops at sometime or other but never both in conjunction with each other !!

[@SuperManuel707]

Your dad is great teacher . Thanks for sharing. We appreciate you guys . Thanks again

[@magnifikris]

Your dad is amazing. I appreciate his knowledge.

[@AnthonyCZeccaSr]

Apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree! Loved seeing your father. Respect!

[@dannyodonnell7383]

Major improvement on the dropper. The double twist on the hook is a really elegant trick too! I tried twisting the loop/branch before tying the first knot, so you end up with a twisted dropper. Adds even more rigidity to the branch, closer to the hook. Works great!

[@benromaine8975]

You and your dad are awesome. Btw it wasn’t your video cause it was very good but I had to watch it two times to get anything out of it cause the first time I was just watching how you and your dad interact. It makes me really appreciate my dad being around and fishing with him not everyone is so lucky to have that!

[@yussefedwards]

"I should have let you mess up so you can learn yourself" no truer words spoken from a parent to a child.....

[@johnz5055]

Wish all parents were like this

[@tonyharris6162]

Brilliant knot . The ole boy know his stuff . Younger gentlemen has a great teacher !

[@redneckradtech1202]

I do the second knot all the time but not with the first. Awesome to create a T shaped loop that looks so much like it won't tangle.. This is great. I will use this for rod and reel cat fishing and jug line rigs as well, nice thanks. Hope your dad releases a few more techniques. Thank You

[@MrRourk]

Your father is a great teacher. Thank you both for the video.

[@nareeeely]

Its been a year since I saw this video and started implementing the knot, THANK YOU!!! I have caught so many fish on this knot, its so strong as well, uni knot fails and this doesnt

[@redouanepeche]

thanks

[@nareeeely]

@@davidparker667 What do you mean the dropper?

[@nareeeely]

@@davidparker667 To be honest Ive been using this knot everyday I go fishing ever since I learned it. NEVER had a failure, last week I pulled out a 5kg catfish with 0.35 mm mono on this rig. Ive had also had a few times where the weight would snag and I a pull it off and still the T knot is strong and intact

[@nareeeely]

@@davidparker667 Im going to try it on a scale and see. Im also using it on 160mm mono for giant grouper fishing, if what your saying is true then I might be better off with a three way swivel

[@joeleone6276]

Your dad has some great tips here!

[@MrReelsa]

Great knots to keep the high - low rigs from tangling. Definitely give it a try next time out bottom fishing. I suspect it need to be pre-made before the trip because it need a lot of patient having the boat rocking will not help.

[@davidbrockett1]

Great knot and so nice you have a father son fishing bond used to love fishing with my dad I have just picked up his old rods so when I go fishing it'll still be like he was here ✌️

Man this is like my best knot so far it’s super strong ; I was at Sebastian inlet last time and caught two Red and a black drum without changing the knot; I’m glad I watched this video

[@cipher233]

I tried this on a Mono, but it reduces the strength considerably. From my testing, just the first loop is quite good. Though it doesnt really stick out like a T, but it has same level of strength as a straight line.
