Knotless Knot

Knotless Knot The Knotless Knot is a popular knot among carp fishermen. Various baits such as bollies can be secured to the loop section (also known as a “hair rig”). The rig is extremely effective when tied correctly and actually has some self-hooking properties.

Knotless Knot

1. Tie a loop at the end of the line to hold the bait. Thread other end of line through eye of hook and adjust the loop to desired position.

2. Double back and make 5 to 8 wraps around hook shank, keeping turns neat and orderly. 3. After last wrap, run free end through eye of hook.

4. While holding the loop end in its desired position, pull free end tight while working wraps up to eye of hook. A drop of super glue can also be used on the knot.

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.
