How to Tie a Swivel to Your Fishing Line for Beginners - Two Favorite Knots!

Here are two of my favorite knots for tying a swivel to your fishing line. The first knot is the improved clinch knot and the second is the palomar fishing knot. Swivels have several purposes but their primary purpose is:
1. Help to attach larger leaders to smaller main lines.
2. Help prevent line twist when throwing artificial lures.
I try and eliminate as much hardware on my rigs as possible, doing so presents the most natural presentation which really helps improve the quantity of bites you receive. This is especially true in high pressured areas.

Glad you enjoyed it, subscribe for more.

[@reggiebarboza6711]

Josh, I just want to say thank you. I'm very new to fishing and your videos are simple straight to the point. I've learned a whole lot from you in such a short time. Wish there were more youtubers like you. Thank you again.

[@Saltyscales]

You are welcome Reggie, I'm glad I can be some help.

[@Hey_its_Koda]

Agree. Thanks josh. Im a newbie to fishing. Your videos have helped me from getting frustrated.

[@ricolion3340]

Thanks bro i got my first rig today. I appreciate all your videos.

[@danielgriffiths4687]

Struggled to tie the first one in practice, but found the second one really simple! Managed to land a 10lb mirror (my PB) the other day using this knot. I appreciate there are other things to take into consideration, but this is the knot I used to tie my mainline onto the hair rigs swivel and it proved successful! Thanks again 😊

[@ainnochaim9450]

I'm taking my teenage daughter and her best friends camping this weekend on an all girls trip! Usually have my husband to tie the fishing knots, but not this round. Thank you!

[@Saltyscales]

Hope you ladies catch them up. You're welcome

[@tiernanconnolly100]

Thank you so much Joshua, I am a new fisher and this is a kind of stuff that really helps people like us new fishers you’re very friendly to beginners I just want to say thank you -tiernan

[@nomaxxin]

my uncle taught me how to fish as a kid. he always said you only need to know 2 knots as a fisherman. the barrel knot & the palomar knot. hasnt led me wrong yet. happy fishing.

[@korbohiggy1505]

Finally tied my first knot thanks to this useful video!

[@hilviolin]

Hi Josh, thank you for such clear instructions on these knots. Here's what I like about your video: outdoors at wood table with natural sunlight on your work, bright colored line is easy to see, and no distracting music in the background! Excellent. I will check out more of your content.

[@Saltyscales]

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment. 👍

[@dragonclaws9367]

Dad taught me that first knot ur a lifesaver. Gonna go toss my little phoebe spoon for kicks. On my ugly stik jr from 1988. Back when they weren't at Walmart. God bless. Be safe. Lockdown in NJ. Still some sunnies i can play with.

[@CorEDilema]

Really clear instructions on the knots for a beginner like myself. Thank you!

[@feelinginfinitesimal8674]

I'm using this for crafts instead of fishing, but this was still very helpful and informative! Thank you!

[@bigo8192]

Pretty simple steps and knots. I love the clinch, always comes through!

[@Saltyscales]

Clinch is my all time favorite.

[@kingkoopa7664]

Great video I know I’m late to the game but I’m taking my lil bro next weekend for our first day fishing...great video

[@nevbobz]

really useful video for noobs like me! Tied on my wire trace thanks to you! Cheers!

[@TTTexan]

My guy you really helped me out on this one lol was struggling with all the other dudes out here trying to show. Your angle of the camera is spot fucking on too which helped out big time! Taking the wife and the little one out tomorrow to the lake. The first toast of beer will be dedicated to you my brother, God bless!

[@masterisan6707]

Wow, just got into fishing and thank u. Very simple and the angles are awesome.

[@Saltyscales]

Glad to help bud

[@stephanieguindon7872]

This looks pretty easy, thank you always for your tips and tricks.

[@Saltyscales]

Stephanie Guindon easy peasy.

[@gregorymcguire8332]

I have used the first knot only for 50 years! Works every time. You can use your thumb to slide the knot down to the eye to tighten it up also, l never have to wet the line.

[@kirkmcknight113]

Thank you very much Joshua for the nice tutorial. If you don't tie these often enough, like me lol, it slides through my 71yr. old mind!!

[@larry-of9kh]

Thanks that second knot I never seen, the first one I do use, I use swivels cause I go braid to mono leter and your correct less twisting, have you used uni knots? They work great too.

[@CrowntailHalfmoon]

Great advice Sir. Will definitely give it a try.👍

[@user-uh5bz5bv4b]

I did it and it actually worked. Thank you.

Surf fishing, finger slipped right after casting, lock engaged and there went my surf rig 😂 this helped get the new one on 👍

[@DabloEscoGaming]

3 years later and you taught me how to tie a knot. Thanks!

[@jamesleslie7007]

Polymer knot is my favorite to use for most end of line applications.

[@Saltyscales]

James Leslie Very strong and easy knot to tie.

[@jamesleslie7007]

hold does one time a loop knot? I think it's called a Triline or Berkeley knot as well I know it goes through the eye and sets similar to a chinch.

[@stevepethel6843]

Thanks God bless you Joshua...happy fishing

[@carnufiasfishing8444]

I prefer the Uni Knot. I used to use the improved clinch knot before i learned the Uni Knot. Great Video bud. 🎣😎🎣😎🎣😎🎣😎🎣

[@Saltyscales]

Felix Martell Uni is a great knot.

[@larry-of9kh]

The uni is one of the best I use too with braid too

[@rommelcruz3651]

Wow, thanks man! That was so clear and simple! Now, let's fish!

Thanks Very Easy and simple for Bignors

[@alexseneviratne9868]

Hello this is a great video. Very informative. I am a saltwater angler from Sri Lanka. I always wated to do away most of hardware in front of the lure. I am currently using a heavy fluro instead of wire trace we used to have in fear of losing lures to macs and kudas. For the convinience of changing lures what if i have a strong split ring instead of snaplock end of the fluro so that i can change lures using a plier. Its not as easy as using a snaplock but eliminates having too many hardware. What are my chances of damaging line with split ring end? Thanks heaps for very useful tips

[@99_tombs]

Finally a video I can follow easily. Thank you!

[@Saltyscales]

Glad it helped!

[@mwpinnc1]

Great, thanks.

[@dinoharrison5138]

Mr Joshua, I use a swivel whenever I use an inline spinner, example; rooster tail. I'd like to know if these knots are effective with braid. I am SURE about them with mono. Great tutorial, both simple and explained in an easier way than I have used. Thank You for the lesson! I SURE WISH you would go back to sleep so you can dream some more!!! lol God Bless ✝ and👍👍👍👍👍

[@Saltyscales]

Dino Harrison the clinch knot has additional step needed to make sure it doesn't slip, you have to run the line through the swivel eyelet twice and then tie.

[@EggyFreeman]

Great tutorial!

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you!

Thank you brother!!!

[@anthonydcosta2172]

V simple n excellent

I always like to tie tag, then cut above the knot

I was wondering what the uses were for the swivel. Glad you covered that immediately or I wouldn't have had the patience to watch the rest. Great vid

[@Saltyscales]

Glad to help bud, thanks for watching!

Hi josh, i usually fish with worms or jig (sometimes tipped with worm) and a slip float, question is if i use a swivel where should it be placed and where do i add my split shot sinker below or above the swivel?

Awsome video Josh!!!!

[@Saltyscales]

Thank you

[@adrjaco]

I was wondering about the snap swivel. How do you connect it all? Do you have snap to snap, like a double swivel? The instructions only says that it's "so easy to switch your lure with a snap swivel", can't seem to find any place that shows me just how to connect it all

[@LiveyourdreamEnt]

Cool thanks

[@thissl935]

Can you do some flounder fishing video on sky pier..

[@Saltyscales]

We don't typically catch a ton of flounder at the piers. They typically are a byproduct catch.

Nice tutorial Joshua. The improved clinch knot is my go to knot, I use it in both fresh and salt water, and have caught some big fish on that knot. How about doing a video on the best knot to use with braided line.

[@Saltyscales]

14theroad1955 My favorite knot as well. Have you seen my knot playlist? Take a look and if you see something that I'm missing I will gladly do a tutorial on it.

[@14theroad1955]

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to go there and check it out, I had no idea you had a dedicated playlist for knots, cool. I'll let you know if I need help. Thanks Joshua.
