When choosing knots for knitting a cord to a cord, you need to take into account the peculiarities of the braid. The cord is made from polyethylene fibers held together. The technology depends on the specific type of braided line. Usually this material is divided into two main types:
- Bonded fibers.
- Intertwined.
The braid has a low stretch ratio, which makes it sensitive to bite. These cords have high tensile strength. For fishing, you can take thinner cords compared to the line. When tying the cords, you can count on them to retain their rigidity. Nodes may be required in the following cases:
- To tie two pieces of braid.
- To attach the leash to the main line.
- For attaching hooks, swivels, lures.
When using knots, it must be borne in mind that they reduce the strength of the tackle.

How to knit braid and braid
Cords of approximately equal diameter
When tying braid to braid, Blood Knot shows good results. Compactness is one of its important features. Such a knot can easily pass through the rings of the spinning rod. To link it, you need to do the following:
- The two ends of the braid are parallel to each other.
- The tip of one of the cords makes 14-16 turns around the other cord. In this case, you need to move from the edge to the main part.
- Do the same for the other cord.
- After twisting the line, a piece of line of at least 10 cm should remain.
- The twisted sections must be slightly shifted towards each other, holding the cords so that they do not unwind. There should be 2-3 cm between them.
- Both ends are threaded through the central part towards each other.
- The knot must be moistened and tightened carefully.
- The protruding ends are cut off, leaving a few millimeters.
This knot is durable and reliable. It must be tightened carefully so that the shape is not disturbed.

- The ends of the two cords are placed parallel to each other, one of them, at a distance of 15 cm from the edge, is wrapped several times around the other. In this case, the rings do not need to be tightened.
- The last turn is performed in the opposite direction. The end of the cord is threaded inside the rings. After this, the knot must be slightly tightened.
- The same operation is performed with another braided cord.
- Both knots are tightening. Then they move them so that they are close to each other.
The procedure for creating this knot is shown in the figure:
Centaurus knot for braids [/ caption] This knot has a relatively high breaking strength. In some cases, it can reach 95% -100%.
Fishing knots for braids of very different diameters
If we are talking about the main line, which has a significantly larger diameter compared to the leader, then in this case you can use the Albright knot. To make a node, you need to do the following:
- The end of the thick braid is bent in half. The thin one is placed parallel to it.
- The leash is threaded through the fold of the line, then the folded cord is wrapped many times. The movement takes place from the main part to the place of the fold.
- The tip is again threaded through the fold towards the first thread.
- The assembly must be wetted and tightened. The protruding tip must be cut off.
The details of the procedure can be clarified by looking at the following diagram:
Albright [/ caption] The longitudinal shape of the knot allows it to easily pass through the spinning rings. When throwing, the risk of snagging is eliminated. The complexity of implementation is noted as a disadvantage. However, after training, this knot can be easily remembered. Suitable even for beginners.
How to crochet braids
You can use the Clinch Knot to tie the hook to the braided line. This is done in this way:
- The end of the braid is passed through the eye of the hook. It is threaded at a distance of 7-10 cm.
- The braid must be bent near the eyelet. Make 5-6 turns around the cord.
- After that, the cord is threaded a second time through the eyelet. Then it is passed through the resulting loop. After wetting, the corner must be tightened.
All the necessary steps are shown in the following figure: Clinch
knot – a popular fishing knot [/ caption] Clinch knot for braids how to knit pattern and explanation: https: // youtu.be/zNndTcSA9qw There are a large number of knots to tie the braid and the hook, but most fishermen use 2-3 of the most effective ones. In addition to Clinch, these include Palomar. In order to bind him, the following steps are taken:
- You need to bend the end of the cord. The bent fishing line is threaded into the eyelet.
- Then, using a double ring, make a loop so that the eye of the hook is inside. The end of the line is threaded through the loop.
- The hook is passed through the loop formed by the fold of the cord. Now the knot must be tightened, pre-moistened.
Each step described here is shown in the following diagram:

How to tie a cord to a cord perpendicularly
To attach the leash perpendicular to the main line, do the following:
- A simple loop is made in the right place on the main line. To do this, bend the cord and turn it 180 degrees.
- A small section of the main line is bent next to it. The bent braid is pushed into a simple loop.
- At the end of the leash, a knot is made using the Eight knot .
- They are pushed into the loop made on the main line and tightened.
How to knit a knot is explained with the help of a picture:
Rapala Knot
The Rapala knot is considered by many fishermen to be universal. It has a complex creation scheme. So it takes a little practice to learn it. Knitting a knot consists of the following steps:
- Before threading into the eyelet, make a simple loop, which is left not tightened.
- The end is passed through the eyelet, then passed through this loop.
- The free end is wrapped around the main part of the cord. It is enough to make 4-5 turns.
- The braid is again threaded into the knot made earlier.
- The end of the cord is passed through the loop just formed.
- Now the knot is moistened and tightened.
This site can be created with a few simple steps to remember. Each step is explained in the picture:
Rapal knot is versatile and strong [/ caption] This knot can be used to tie hooks and lures to braided line. It can also be used to make a loop for attaching a leash. It is also useful to know how to tie the braid to the spool: https://youtu.be/8lD9L7UzHh8 When using braid, keep in mind that it can have a different design. If the fibers of which it is composed are not round, but square, then this increases the risk of kinking under tension. The amount of constituent fibers may vary. The larger it is, the stronger the knots used will be. When buying, you need to bend the cord and make sure that it does not flake. Otherwise, its strength will be reduced. Sometimes the manufacturer, when selling, indicates which knots are recommended for the line he produces.
