Fishing is not something magic, no matter what commercials are telling you but there is no such magic around to perform your fishing things. It wears out and it builds up the friction as well, it will get scraped, nicked, cut, scratched out and everything else. Hence it is very important to retie the things.

We have spent our last year in doing puzzles like quizzing about the professional guides, avid fishermen and professional anglers to find out what things are mentioned most commonly and have used knots for bass fishing. Well in this post we have step by step instructions about how you are going to tie fishing knots that we felt are relevant to you.

1. The Palomar Knot
   The Palomar Knot is a very simple knot that will help you in attaching a line to the hook or flying to a leader or the tippet. This knot is taken as one of the strongest fishing knots ever. After the loop has been passed through the eye, you can always tie an overhand knot with the loop.
   
2. Improved Klinch Knot
   Pass the end of the line through the eye. Wrap it around the standing end about five complete turns. Pass the end back through the loop beside the eye. Then pass the end under the final turn. Tighten the knot and trim the end.
3. Trilene Knot Tying
   For this you have to tag the end of the line through your eyes two times. Wrap it around five or six times at the standing. Now thread out the end through the original loop by the side of your eyes. Now make some lubrication and pull the knot really tight. Trim out the ending point but do not make it too short.
4. Slip Knot
   Design a loop by making the line double onto itself. Now run the end tag in backward direction of the loop and lay down over the doubled lines. Now make one or two turns with the tag ends around doubled lines and with this get the new loop created.
5. The San Diego Jam Knot
   This is considered as one of the powerful and overlooked knot in bass fishing. This Uni Slip is like a staple knot to be used among the saltwater anglers. This is like the knot of preference for a number of professional anglers who think that the Palomar knot has a number of shortcomings.
6. The Snell Knot
   For this you have to end the leader through your eye and then have to move again in the same direction; Grip up your eye and both the parts of your line. You have to wrap the loop around the shank of the hook for more than 7 times. You can now shrink the loop by pulling the standing end. Lubricate both the ends and tighten the knots and trim at the end.
7. Rapala Knot Tying
   With this you form an overhand knot within the line. Pass on the end of the tag through the eye and then bring it back with overhand knot. The best way is wrap the ending point of the knot three times around the standing end. Pass the back of the end with an overhand knot and then pass it through the loop that has just formed. Lubricate the knot and tighten it. Trim it from the end.
8. The Eugene Slip Knot
   This is a special knot that is being taken from the Elite Series pro James Niggemeyer that is highly likeable. It is quick, simple and very strong. When you want to tie things, you start by passing the end of the tag through the eyelet and then you have to run it parallel to the mainline and then double it to form a very big loop.
9. The Alberto Knot
   Alberto Knot is well-known amongst the Fisherman readers as their hardcore stripy bass surf angler, who is equally at home and is targeting a large black-fish and traveling south to wrestle for the trophy snook. It was nicknamed as crazy Alberto because of its extreme dedication, he never leave things on chance including the knots. This is the reason he created the Alberto knot and connects to heavy fluoro and mono leader to a braided gelspun line. It is taken as the best knot that is testing out at virtually 100 percent of all the unknotted line, and it is comparatively easy to form a tie, even if you need it at night with a headlamp for lighting up your work.
10. The Two-Uni Join Knot
    This knot is specifically used by the anglers in both fresh and salt water fishing for joining their lines of different or similar strengths. It will work really well and some people find it very easy to tie than the Blood Knot. When you are tying it with a braided line to mono-filament, you have to make 8 turns with some slippery braided line and 5+ turns.
