Default Knots

A fellow heading up to Ontario asked me the same question last Saturday. He
spooled up some spinning reels with PowerPro, and I showed him how to tie
the Braid Knot.

Loop your line and insert the loop through the lure eye. Then lay the loop
alongside the doubled line (standing end and tag end). Turn the loop back
down toward the lure. Holding the doubled line and the doubled loop in your
right hand, make four or five turns around both doubled lines, working down
toward the lure. Finally, insert the looped end between the doubled lines
(between the eye and the coils) and cinch it down slowly. Cut off the loop
down by the lure and the tag end up above.

If I had to explain how to peel a banana, we would all starve to death! Just
go to http://www.bassresource.com/fish/knots.html for an illustration. It's
really very simple, doesn't slip, and I've never had it break, probably
because everything is doubled..
