TOP 4 Knots Every Fisherman MUST KNOW

The title says it all...these are the 4 knots I feel every serious fisherman should know. In this video you'll learn how to tie an improved clinch knot, snell knot, palomar knot and double uni knot. ALL of these have a place in my arsenal every single time I'm on the water.

Really great abrasion resistance and though I've never put the Big Game line kzbin.infoUgkxQ4x31pJVpClzhxzNFeILZYTW7Xbs7ZIF (any poundage) through an official test it always seems to break well above rated poundage. This line stretches a very good amount before it breaks and does well in saltwater too. Not the best line for a spinning reel in my opinion, especially if you're planning on using it for lures only due to it having a bit of memory but still a great line whether filling a spool, using as top shot or strictly for leader line. I've bought a bunch of Big game line in the past and plan on continuing to do so in the future.

I'm a real amateur (i fished only 2-3 times, twice as a kid, last time my friend helped since we needed dinner) but I would like to learn and do it more. Thank you for explaining the knots. Knowing how to tie the hook/lure properly is a wonderful beginning (lol)! I will watch more of your videos in the future. My main problem is opportunity. I live in Montréal (QC) and get few chances to go to our beautiful rivers and plentiful lakes. I even have access to a secluded private lake with speckled trout through a family acquaintance but so far cannot find someone who enjoys fishing enough to go to the country or woods, especially since the covid outbreak. The "top 4 knots" is the first fishing video I have seen. I hope you keep making them and if you ever come to the area, I can point out to you to some nice spots. Thanks again, "City girl in need of help"

Excellent vid and great descriptions. I've been tying the Clinch knot for everything for years, but I'm gonna start working on the other three now and get those down to change it up a bit and start having better presentations. Thanks for the great content :)

[@kenshowalter1679]

That was great. I am glad that you used a bolt and string. That made it so much easier to follow.

[@andrewlundgren9103]

Good video...All great knots...I used to the double uni for a long time until I saw some stuff on the Alberto knot...feel like you get same strength but the knot is slimmer and goes thru the guides better. Can't wait to see you upcoming videos with pre-spawn fishing!!!

[@StuWNZ]

I've been using the clinch knot for years and it's never failed

[@jasonmoyer979]

Your video makes it really easy to understand exactly how to tie your knots! I have always replaced the improved clinch with the Trilene Knot because there is a second contact point of line in the eye of the hook. I am not sure if that really makes it stronger or not but I do have confidence in it. Really well made video, thanks!

[@southoutmcknight3263]

Great video. My favorite is the Palomar but I needed to see the snell detailed out like that thanks.

[@ethansafrany6668]

South Out Mcknight the Palomar knot is my favorite knot too i use it all the time! Its a great knot and is very easy

[@cocorkiller2322]

First knot ive been using all my life. Perfect knot

[@clintoncarraway4490]

Thanks Milliken!! This was definitely some helpful stuff. The drop shot knot kind of blew my mind. Never even thought tying a knot like that!!

[@shawnseabaugh]

Thanks for the video,I'm always trying to better myself more fishing knowledge.

[@ryanschmidt4915]

Love the improved clinch knot but I cant wait to try that snell knot. Great video .

[@hockeydad6211]

The first video I seen where the guy is smart enough to demonstrate with heavy string and a eye bolt. Thank you

[@brandonsexton3769]

That improved clinch knot was great to learn. Felt like my old knot I was wasting of ton of line each time I tied on. Thanks 👊🏼

[@stevenbrown7042]

Great video learned a lot. Thanks for the input. I do know the Snell knot extremely well. I worked a summer in a bait shop while I was in high school. That's all I did was tie snells all day

[@DozerBoyRc]

This vid was a must see for every fisherman out there.. new or old!!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to share!!

[@danielkim9634]

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for this video. I recently picked up fishing as a hobby and I've been looking at dozens of videos about knots and how to tie them and I was having trouble until I saw this. Also helped me figure out when to use specific knots. Thanks!

[@whatmighthavbeenlost]

Amazing video. Taking son trout fishing today and used the improved clinch, which is easier and better than the knot I had been using for years. You are the man!

[@areus2016]

The snell knot is the most reliable and the strongest knot. I prefer to use the noose knot when I can’t do the snell knot. Always works. Snell knot has never failed me and the noose knot is stronger than the line itself. Good vid all in all.

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

Excellent. I only knew the Palomar growing up. Gonna add the smell to the Texas rig. Thanks!

[@patrickconnors8403]

Never get tired of watching knot videos, lol.

[@sumoninja141]

Very good instructional video. Thank you

[@johngradante9297]

[@marcusaleman4280]

Very helpful thanks. I didn’t know which I wanted to go with. The strings use was great thanks.

[@maisy3042]

I'm not a fisherman I'm a handspinner and I use knot #1 to tighten my wheels fishing tension line to my spring 😁👍.. its the best knot ever ..so glad I found this video however long ago it was and I always come back to watch it when I need to re knot my new line 🙈😉 #forgetfullsally

[@codyalbright4465]

you have some really detailed videos man keep it up man I'm really loving it

[@BAKERHUSKIE]

A lot of good info. Thanks for taking the tome to make the video. Just started kayak fishing. Hopefully I can use all this info.

[@jkane1341]

I enjoy parts of your videos when you stop to explain tactics or other fished related items, makes it educational and entertaining vs look what I can do fish catches...

[@WillAnderson3rd]

Thank you very much. Your demonstrations are perfect and easy to follow.

[@TheGainfather]

Great info, thanks for the tips. You should put more of these kind of vids out.

[@andrewmiller3767]

Nice vid man, we'll demonstrated. Thx and good luck fishin! 🇺🇸

[@MillikenFishing]

Thank you Andrew!

[@mtnguard6469]

Thank you. I was sure I was doing them correctly but you confirmed it.

[@rookdawg]

Milliken, I've seen a ton of knot tutorials and your tutorial is the best. Your bolt and string presentation is the best. Thank you! Subscribed!

[@probablynotwearingpants6228]

Great video, everything explained very well, great info man. Came for the uni but enjoyed all 4.

[@ratedredneck96]

I had used the improved clinch knot for years and as far as i know it has never been the culprit of a lost fish but i have yanked a few hooks out of some mouths so i will definitely learn to tie the snell knot for swim baits and stuff like that. I dont use braid much but i will probably get some for my casting reels as i hear thats like the best thing to do ever lol i really dont know a whole lot about the technical bits and bobs of fishing, i just know darker water darker baits or bright baits, these little quick tip/how to videos are life savers for people like me lol

[@Carolinamac.87]

Great video man! Perfect explanation of each knot!

[@chriscosby7834]

I've done used so many knots over a life time that I don't have the fingers and toes to count that high 😂 now I typically use only a San Diego jam knot. Never slips and super simple to tie. Thanks brother great info.

[@kevinb8520]

Made it easy to watch , thanks

[@aaronzurlo1266]

Thanks for the video. I am new to bass fishing and I was shown your videos and now I’m hooked. You do a damn good job and you look like you have a really fun time doing it too. Keep up the good work.

[@itsbeerme487]

nice vid I use the Palomar and the uni knot for everything it's just easy for me

[@Michaelb2127]

[@seanerecacho67]

Great video thank you for sharing your knowledge!!

[@ralphh4131]

Man. This is some. Next level stuff you are teaching. I feel like I'm just an idiot in a boat. I normally jig for walleye 10 ft down. I use a jig head with a minnow chuck and a bright rubber wiggler. I WANT to try the second knit you described

[@martygibson1480]

Wow, very precise and instructive way of to tie the knots that I havent quite been do right. Thanks Pal now I know.

[@MrJeffreyHill1]

Great video and a great channel. Keep the instructional videos coming.

[@mkrise73]

Great video. That helped me with the uni.

[@Moostery]

The only reason I got in to fishing was because of the knots and the almost free food.

[@bmonty1915]

I like it

[@MistaE]

The improved clinch and the palomore knot is all I need

[@joebuck66]

Great video and great information.

[@mufa1967]

[@richellebaker9171]

Good video on knots 🎣👍 my favorite four knots to

[@Powerchiro1]

Great video! Just starting out fishing with my seven-year-old son. Been going at it about six months now. Totally hooked on it :-). Your videos have been very helpful. Just purchased my first casting rod and reel. If you have any suggestions on videos that I should watch to get started that would be greatly appreciated. Again thanks for your videos keep them coming.

good work! learned a lot!

[@mckmh07167]

Great video. Thanks

[@horsesasis4004]

I've started double looping at the hook eye on my improved clinch knots and haven't had a single knot break, since.

[@mjc20095]

Great video all around

[@anonanon4006]

Thank you for showing on large hardware. Most people just tie their knots and expect you to know what they're doing.

[@tealbluewhite]

Wow. So similar. I use the trilene knot, palomar, snell and uni.

[@andrewl9311]

Spot on mate nice one

[@migillyvanilly]

Those are awesome knots

[@WARBAITS]

Great video! Glad to find your channel

[@MillikenFishing]

That means a lot coming from you guys! RadioSilence Fishing was one of the main channels that got me interested in fishing video production...I loved that stuff! Still rep my Warbaits hat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aV7QeYBpbJuHqck

Keep it up! We are following you and enjoy the videos and insight!

If you ever make it out this way, hit us up. Let's fish!

[@63MercComet]

Make sure you watch these two fish San Diego. Great Video!

[@andrewmacphee7976]

Thank you for the video helped out alot awesome videos

[@boyerstudios]

Awesome information

[@jakeglover1538]

If you make another knot video- include the fact that you can tie a single uni when throwing straight braid since it doesn't slip. Also slow down when explaining the more complex ones. Great video!

[@johnniemynski6875]

Same do those knots all the time!

[@tonycrossman3836]

Thank you for this! (:

[@clayclarkjr]

VICNIC knot is by far my favorite and easy to tie.

[@epicclaytonplays1315]

I use the fishermans knot and that sir is a very strong and EASIEST knot u can learn I use it for EVERYTHING

[@ProfessorWillow]

I've lost so many bass on the clinch knot, time to try the "improved" version!

[@billsiviter9272]

Don't bother, learn the Palomar knot it is the strongest of all. Clinch or improved clinch just cannot compare nor can the snell knot

[@A1K3NFISHING]

nice review man. good knots. I like them all but I did learn something about the snell knot. I don't know if it is just me.. but I did want to point out that you should take a look at the snell knot vs palomar knot. its crazy to think... but the snell knot, even though the hook does pop up which would makes you think its going into the roof of the fishes mouth, normally rolls and the fish actually feels the bend in the hook and not the hook point itself. sounds crazy the way I'm explaining it. but just thought you might want to check it out. great videos though.

[@fishinfrenzy8964]

The first knot is my go to

[@wyatthughes7691]

Thxs dude helped me up

[@benparkhurst649]
