Tying an improved clinch knot
Need to tie a 20 lb. test line (or smaller) to a sinker, swivel or hook? Try this simple and strong knot.
First place the end of the line through the eye of the swivel.
Then take the short end of the line and circle the long end of the line 5 times.
Thread the short end of the line through the loop you just made by twisting the line.
Thread the short end of the line through the loop you just made by bringing the line through the first loop.
Moisten the twisted part, pull the long-end line tight then clip off any excess short-end line.
