Carp anglers need to be able to tie strong and reliable knots in order to successfully land the fish they hook. Now many people get confused by the vast array of knots that are possible in fishing but I use just four knots for virtually all my fishing.
Knotless Knot:
This has now become the universal knot for tying a hook to the hook link in modern carp fishing. It is strong and works for all types of hooklink material. It has the advantage of aligning the hook on the hooklink thus improving the hooking capabilities of the rig. It is called the knotless knot because you don’t actually tie a knot as such. The line is in fact trapped as you thread the ends through the eye. A recent article on the Fishing Magic website gives a nice tutorial on how to tie this essential knot.
