| I don't think I can draw how to tie any loop knot here, but I like one
called the Rappala loop for when a big loop is ok. Other times I use
a king sling.
For the Rappala, you start with an overhand knot, pass it thru the eye,
twist a few times, back thru the overhand knot, and then thru the loop
left after twisting and going thru the overhand. For the sling, double
the line, pass that thru the eye, twist, and drop the lure thru the
loop. As always, moisten and pull.
After reading that description, I'm not sure I could tie either one if
I didn't know how...

| I use the bowline. You can find a picture of it in the American
Heritage Dictionary, it's the one that most Office Services hand out.
My edition has it on page 83.

| What's the strength retention of the bowline? I had the impression that it
was not good (like 50-60%).

| Ah hell, use a snap ! Otherwise, run 1 1/2' of line throgh the eyelet
and let the lure hang from the middle of the "Sling" you've created.
Pinch the loose line tip against the running line. Now hold the lure
with your other hand and make a loop over the doubled line. Pass the
lure through the loop twice, spit on the knot and tighten it. Works for
me.

| Just tie the Trilene knot to a stick of dynamite, light, and cast.
Now, I knew I forgot something.
The net!

Last time I read up on knots the "PALOMAR" was the leader in line
strength retention.
To tie it, make a loop 1.5 times the length of lure.
Pass the end of the loop thru the eye of the lure, tie an
overhand knot leaving enough loop to go right around
the lure.
Pull up near snug, check to be sure one section of line
does not cross over another and pull it tight.
If tied properly, you can see that one strand does not cross
another to do any cutting at all.

| Is this the knot where you actually pass the lure through the loop
as the last step before snugging up the knot?
