TOP 4 Knots Every Fisherman MUST KNOW

[@dosadosa112]

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.

[@jenniferlelievre8278]

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"

[@kenshowalter1679]

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

[@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.

[@hockeydad6211]

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

[@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!

[@horsesasis4004]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@StuWNZ]

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

[@DozerBoyRc]

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

[@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

[@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

[@cocorkiller2322]

First knot ive been using all my life. Perfect knot

[@patrickconnors8403]

Never get tired of watching knot videos, lol.

[@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

[@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

[@MistaE]

The improved clinch and the palomore knot is all I need

[@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!

[@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...

[@LimitedGunnerGM]

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

[@sumoninja141]

Very good instructional video. Thank you

[@ryanschmidt4915]

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

[@BigKeithDog]

I use a uni knot almost exclusively. Pretty much every hook or bait. I find it's the easiest knot to tie for me. I can do it with my eyes closed, in the dark, in the wind, doesn't matter. Palomar for drop shots. I haven't tied an improved clinch knot in ages.

[@anonanon4006]

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

[@shawnseabaugh]

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

[@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 👊🏼

[@jayjohnson9668]

For sure those are the most important 4 knots any fisherman should know very good vidja Ben!! Very informative for youngsters to know the basics so they don't lose a trophy fish!! Keep em coming buddy

[@epicclaytonplays1315]

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

[@2explore1]

I use 5 knots. The first three shown here. Your 4th knot I recently switched to the blood knot. My last knot is the Trilete knot for thin line applications when using mono. Other than these the only one that I'll tie is the Loop knot for line to jerk baits.

[@martygibson1480]

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

[@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!

[@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!!!

[@clayclarkjr]

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

[@jaysmith6013]

Loved it! The double uni is key, but difficult especially when you’re out there and wind is blowing

[@billsiviter9272]

The palomar is the strongest knot scientifically proven.

[@mufa1967]

simple and clear. for a beginner (my self) this is a great help. tnx

[@WillAnderson3rd]

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

[@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!!

[@terencecallahan1577]

This show is the best. You do a great job explaining how to tie knots!

[@rabidspiders01]

Professional Fisher here. Honestly uni knot is the go to knot. Its actually the proper way to do a Snell knot. When its learned properly super fast to change rigs out. Ask any long liner they tell you the same thing.

[@Moostery]

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

[@bmonty1915]

I like it

[@benparkhurst649]

Thanks Ben. I've watched this like 4 times. I always forget the line to line knot. You the man.

[@Fishguys88]

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.

[@chrisfisher3900]

I like the uni knot on crankbaits just works for me and is supper strong. Just last week i got a lipless hung up on ten pound mono. Working it slow and easy i pulled up two waterlogged 2x6 boards will alot of rope on them. Pretty nice i got my lipless back and gained a couple extra cranks that had been broke off on the same lumber.

[@ChewingToons]

I find that the Palomar can be ued in most cases for big or small fish. Hooks,lures anything. And has never let me down. The double uni is a must to learn. One we use alot her in England is the knotless knot for hooks.Specially carp fishing.

[@zachploen4067]

I prefer blood knot over double uni. Tags are inside the knot and it flows through rod eyelets easy. Never had a fail.

[@fishinfrenzy8964]

The first knot is my go to

[@daviddixon2945]

Palmore knot is the best knot i believe. I've never have lost a fish due to my knot. the string yes, if you know that happens. i feel confident with that knot.

[@dnacash]

nice video. very well done showing the how-to's. I use cinch knot on mono and Palomar with braid

[@JaredHillhouse]

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 :)

[@philliprgarcia]

Best video I found to perfect my knots

[@smithvegasbassassassin9406]

Great video! Very well explained and broke down simply so everyone could understand it! Thanks a bunch and keep up the great work!

[@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.

[@itsbeerme487]

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

[@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!

[@32icon]

Awesome, awesome video!!

[@NickRentals31]

Love the double uni knot you just have to be careful if you're using a rod with small guides, as It can get a bit bulky. In which case I'll use the Alberto knot just because it's quick for me to tie on the water and it hasn't given me any issues.

[@joebuck66]

Great video and great information.

[@johngradante9297]

Nice video thanks for the info! I really like the demo with the large screw and twine..makes it easier to absorb. Thank you

[@stevethorntonfishing1360]

Great demonstrations in your knots, this is the best knot tying vid I've seen. Thank you!

[@kevinb8520]

Made it easy to watch , thanks

[@leozuniga9876]

Excellent video👍

[@marcusaleman4280]

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

[@johnniemynski6875]

Same do those knots all the time!

[@keithjohnston5385]

I’m old. 151 years old, okay, plus or minus100. I’ve been fishing for a long time. There was a long break between 19 and now, things have changed a lot. Once I heard about braided line I had to get infinity so far I love it but, there’s never a buy here. I’ve been using swivels forever. I’ve learned that it’s better not to use a swivel. Okay, so then it’s time to tie the not. I’m not fast at then at all. I watched your 4 knot video. I need to get some string I guess to practice.... i don’t think you talked about the different knots to use with the different line. I heard you say at the end of the video that you reply to all of the comments, well I’ve left quite a few comments and as far as I know, there hasn’t been any reply. I understand, you’ve gotten a lot more popular since you shot that video. I’m proud to be an M’Fer, lol.

[@tealbluewhite]

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

[@c.shoefish]

Try the FG knot for joining knots. I've personally never had one break or slip. Takes a while to learn but its rock solid

[@mrsaezs]

Thanks, great description!!! Just recommend to use a nail clipper as auxiliary tool , to pull the hook and cut the nylon (just for safety), not pull the hook directly

[@ThreePhaseHigh]

I agree improved clinch is a good knot. However I like the double improved clinched knot even better. Only thing you have to do different is pass it through the tackle you are using twice. Then finish tying it off.

[@rickalsip2329]

This is what I need to watch

[@mitchfortson8413]

Palomar is my knot hands down

[@mjc20095]

Great video all around

[@migillyvanilly]

Those are awesome knots

[@xox0951]

improved clinch was the first fishing knott I ever learned

[@tonyduran4764]

You prefer the uni knot over the crazy alberto for braid to flouro? The crazy alberto is simpler quicker and it is small and solid union give it a try if you haven't. I really like it.

[@owenjansen1763]

I prefer the FG knot... never had any problems

[@TheRealShawnRichman]

Owen Jansen - same here... that's all I use now for braid to leader (after my own backyard testing- just gave me more confidence than the uni to uni)... but as far as ease of instruction, and for making a video- the uni is still a solid connection, and way easier to tie.

[@danielhenderson6250]

Chris Torres I totally agree bro, best leader knot!!!!!!!

[@fatbackfishing9789]

What is the FG knot?

[@1in5gaming21]

Owen Jansen in

[@natepearson4938]

Owen Jansen Jesus died on the cross for our sins that’s why I love him so much

[@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.

[@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.

[@paulgarcia3797]

great video demo, ,first 2 knots I was able to get, ,last 2 I need practice.

[@WhiteTiger3933]

I love this video! Thank you for making it. This was the first video I watched of yours and I've been watching your videos since. I keep coming back to the video to keep teaching myself how to tie these knots.

[@TheGainfather]

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

[@danielkim9634]

I just have a question. Which is better to use . The improved clinch knot or the uniknot?

[@andrewl9311]

Spot on mate nice one

[@earlharvey7659]

What is your take on the surgeon's knot? It's very strong, but I have had it separate during a heavy snag freeing attempt...I would appreciate your opinion! Thanks, Earl Harvey

[@sabaof8]

Best presentation yet. Now, tell us how to do it with 8- or 10-pound mono or fluoro that you can’t see, can’t feel, and wants to jump out of your hand.

[@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

[@MrJeffreyHill1]

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

[@bluedog4500]

Great video, thanks

[@connorcasler4641]

I lost my favorite lure to a bad knot when I casted it was my first time fishing but still
