Fishing Knots

I found this book on Amazon and liked it so I am sharing it with you. Here are review comments left on Amazon about this book.

Lefty Kreh provides an excellent book and dvd, December 21, 2007 Review By Robert Meaher “TARPON TAMER” (ALABAMA) - (REAL NAME)
Having attended Lefty’s seminars, I find that his teaching gift is communicated very well in his writings and video.
There are few people in the world that can throw a fly as well as Lefty and know the proper presentation in all conditions and perform that task in an excellent manner.
Knots are so very important and his knowledge of how to tie these knots and teach others to do the same is presented very nicely in the book and on the video. We spend alot of time and money in pursuit of fish and the instruction presented by Lefty will make us all better fisherman.

A gordian approach to knot tying, November 22, 2007 Review By R. Ahern (Arlington, VA usa) - (REAL NAME)
Lefty Kreh has put together a comprehensive book of clear drawings, coupled with a video of the southpaw himself carrying on about the knots. The knots are for virtually any fishing application, not just for fly fishing. The book is ring bound and sturdily covered for field used. The book and DVD are wonderfully complementary, and I have always enjoyed Kreh’s “just folks” stage presence. You can’t go wrong with this set.

knot book with dvd, August 8, 2008 Review By Lawrence C. Clower (DFW, Texas) - (REAL NAME)
This would be just another Lefty book, except for the dvd included. Because of the dvd, it’s the best fishing knot resource out there.

There are several things that you will want to keep in mind if you want to tie good saltwater fly fishing knots. First, the quality of your fly fishing knots will directly affect how well you can fish. The knots used are typically the weakest point of a rod and line assembly. This is due to the fact that the line is usually weakened when it is tied, and is often responsible for line breaks and the loss of fish. The first step in making certain your bass fishing techniques knots are secure is to make sure you lubricate the knot as it is being tied. Using a liquid to lubricate the knot will lower the amount of friction heat generated when you are tying your knot. When heat is generated during the typing of the knot, the line is weakened and can snap under strain.

Next, once you have lubricated and tied your winter bass fishing knots, you need to test the knot. This is done by pulling on the leader and the line and seeing if the knot holds. It is best to do this because you want to ensure there is a good amount of strength in the knot before you cast your line and discover the knot was incorrectly tied, resulting in the loss of your fish. If you notice that your deep sea fishing knots seem to slip, you will want to make certain that you are tying your knots correctly. A properly seated knot will not slip or move when put under strain. It is always suggested that you trim your fly fishing knots prior to casting your line. The trim should be done as close to the knot as possible without nicking or otherwise damaging the knot or line. This can be tricky at first, but once you have practiced, you will be able to trim the knot cleanly.

If your knot is lose and you did not properly seat or test the knot but trimmed it, you will notice that your knot is much more likely to come loose. This is due to the fact that the knot is not tied tightly enough, allowing movement within the knot. This is something that you will want to avoid in sport fishing knots, as it can result in the loss of the leader and your fish. When you tie fly fishing nets knots, make certain that you are careful in how you grasp your lure and leader. It is extremely easy to cut your finger on a lure if you are not careful when you are typing these knots.
