Baja Knot

1. Form a loop about one or two from the end of the line. This is the largest of three loops which make up the knot. Slide a hook to the base of the loop and let it hang freely while tying the rest of the knot.

2. Run the free end of the line across the front of the first loop and behind the running line to make the second loop. Pinch between thumb and fore finger and pull tag end until this loop is considerably smaller than the first.

3. Repeat last step to make the loop but make it medium size. Now slide the hook to the top of the first loop. Pass hook over middle loop and under top loop. Draw knot up semi tight.

4. Secure hook with pliers or to boat rail and pull standing line hard to tighten down in heavy mono. This knot will not slip.

Disclaimer: Any activity involving rope can be dangerous and may even be life threatening! Knot illustrations contained in this web site are not intended for rock climbing instruction. Many knots are not suitable for the risks involved in climbing. Seek professional instruction. Many of these knots have histories of use tracing back hundreds of years. However, many critical factors in their use today cannot be controlled, including: the appropriateness of knots used in particular applications, the age, size, and condition of ropes (knots weaken the rated breaking strength of rope anywhere from 50% to as much as 80%, even more in the case of old and worn rope); and the accuracy with which these descriptions have been followed.
