BOBBER STO KNOT

We use this knot to adjust the position of the ActionDisc on bait and fly trolling rigs. Developed for bobber fishing, the knot slides through the rod guides with ease, but grips the monofilament line securely and will not move over the line unless adjusted by the angler.

It should be tied with 5 or 6 inches of line. (Dacron fly line backing works excellent for this knot!)

TRILENE KNOT

A strong, reliable knot for joining monofilament line to hooks, swivels and lures. The second loop through the eye helps reduce failure due to abrasion.

RAPALA KNOT

This knot creates a permanent loop that allows the lure to move freely, unrestricted by the knot.

EGG LOOP KNOT

This is the standard Steelhead bait knot. The finished knot creates a snare loop to add your bait (roe, shrimp, yarn etc.).
