Practical Fishing Knots, by Mark Sosin & Lefty Kreh Considered by many to be the best all time book on fishing knots, this is a must have for anyone needing to learn a wide variety of fishing knots.

Bad Choice! Watch out for an Amazon.com recommendation of Geoffrey Budworth’s The Complete Book of Fishing Knots. Mr. Budworth is not a fisherman, he is a knot book publisher/knot historian. His rope knot books are excellent, but this title is of little practical use to fishermen.

Knot Books vs Knot Cards
Knot books are great learning aids. You sit in your easy chair with some rope in your hand and amaze yourself with handy and useful knots you need to know. You even commit several knots to memory. Six months later you find yourself trying to tie down a kayak in the back of your truck or on your car roof and wind up using the "Cluster Knot" - about eight granny knots on top of each other!
Enter the "Knot Card", smartly stashed in your glove box. With a quick peek at the little plastic cards, you are now confidently cinching down your cargo with a series of Bowlines and Trucker's Hitches like a pro! That is the idea behind the knot cards - having them handy when you need them.
We offer knot cards for fishing knots and rope knots. Both are a great aid to tying the right knot when you need to and make a good companion to any of the fine knot books available!

The Ashley Book of Knots, by Clifford Ashley. Four thousand knots! Seven thousand illustrations! Obviously this compendium of knots has it all and is not just for boaters. This book is a well organized archive that not only gives text and illustrations of the knots but also their history, uses and when known, the knot's inventor. Mr. Ashley has compiled a reservoir of knot knowledge that belongs in any knot connoisseur's collection!
