San Diego Jam Knot | Tutorial

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

I have used this knot for the last 5 years on a #8 bait hook and all terminal tackle with 6lbs line for trout , Steelhead and salmon and is strong as hell . never has it ever failed me ever!

[@AccurateFishingReels]

nice ! thanks for the share! We agree !

[@michaelherrera116]

I use this knot on my glide baits, never lost one yet on the knot. I trust it and it's easy to do.

[@jnishijima]

Great tutorial, thank you!

[@AccurateFishingReels]

You're very welcome!

[@firstnamelastname5330]

The only knot I tie period. And when in doubt just double that line up for a double san diego jam knot, the line will always break before the knot promise

[@AccurateFishingReels]

We have used the double in PV for years with good results.

[@frederickk2852]

Nice knot and quick

[@AccurateFishingReels]

Thanks for the nice words.

[@andrewmorke]

Thanks for your video. Well explained. I prefer the Palomar because there is doubled line in the eye or ring of the lure, swivel, or hook in case of abrasion.

[@AccurateFishingReels]

You can also double the San Diego jam which we do long range fishing. Little bit more to tie though. Thanks.

[@brianmcarthur7423]

You’d do a Palmar knot with that huge jig that you need to get the loop over? I dig the palomar also but sometimes the hook or lure or jog is too big, or too sharp (like treble hooks. )

nice.. i have some accurate reels.. they are super quality tuff stuff a lifetime reels of use.. as a person that is QC in manufacturing cables for military, i can tell you guys spend the time to produce the best reels, quality is just amazing

[@AccurateFishingReels]

Thank you for the nice words. Means a lot coming from someone that knows.

[@donaldstephensen8654]

Thanks buddy

[@AccurateFishingReels]

No problem 👍

[@thegoods2240]

Try going through the ring twice, then do your knot. Depending on lb test you may be better with 4-6 wraps. Finished knot will be a bit stronger.

[@Haknumansoksan]

I agree with double loops around the ring. That's what I prefered for more added strength since there are two loops instead of one.

great video much love

[@AccurateFishingReels]

Thanks for the nice words.

[@finnafishfl]

I use it everything down to 2lb test. Just use more wraps the thinner you go. I do 11 wraps with my 2lb

[@eugenegress5896]

I saw another video, where the guy put the line through the top loop gap, then the Bottom one, WHICH IS THE WRONG WAY!!!!, You did it the CORRECT WAY. Ilove this knot, use it most of the time.

[@AccurateFishingReels]

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.

[@markketello5757]

Does it matter which way you pass through the last loop? Thank you

[@AccurateFishingReels]

To some it does but as long as it is cinched, its pretty strong. I have seen it done both ways. Check out the springer knot from John Collins. I use this knot with no problems on big fish.

[@nobody-eh5es]

why not wrap it around 2 times at swivel to start..improved?

[@AccurateFishingReels]

YEP ITS A DOUBLE AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE INITIAL KNOT. THANKS.

[@lop6064]

Will this knot work on fly line bait

[@AccurateFishingReels]

Yes but it is bulky. We use it when fishing 130 lb for long range yellowfins. Check out the springer knot. You can tie heavy line and I use it all the time with never a failure. Thanks.

[@douglashanlon1975]

Works on any size mono

[@AccurateFishingReels]

It goo for 30lb and up probably. It is used mostly for 80lb and up on the long range boats.

[@ShorrockPaul]

Can it be used for fluorocarbon?

[@AccurateFishingReels]

Yes sir. Probably most used knot for big game in San Diego with flouro.

[@definitiveenergy1]

Why not the double san diego?

[@AccurateFishingReels]

I USE THE DOUBLE ON THE PV GEAR BUT HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SINGLE AND IT IS EASIER TO TIE. HOPE THAT HELPS. I GUESS IT PERSONAL PREFERENCE. THANKS.

[@definitiveenergy1]

@@AccurateFishingReels I use the single too. Still a reliable knot.

[@definitiveenergy1]

Thanks for the reply- tight lines and bloody decks!

[@blindabinda1234]

So it's basically a reverse fisherman's knot kind of.

[@AccurateFishingReels]

Not sure of Fishermans knot. So many names so few knots. Thanks.

[@italiantroutaholic8926]

@@AccurateFishingReels its more of a combined knot of a clinch and a Pitzen Knot with 2 safeguards from it slipping ever

[@dallaswood4117]

That’s what I thought just looks like a variation on the improved clinch knot or fisherman’s knot as you call it

[@eugenegress5896]

CORRECTION.... He put it through the BOTTOM One first, then the top one.

[@5spottedbass]

I prefer the San Angelo double Lyndy cross hatch east of the brazos knot myself 😅 JK great video !

[@AccurateFishingReels]

Cool, thanks
