How to Tie a Fishing Line

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Mark The Shark in Miami Beach, Florida from marktheshark.com. On this clip, I'm going to show you how to tie a fishing line. On this particular line, we're going to tie a hook at the end of the line. What we ideally use here is a just a fisherman's knot, pretty easy, create a line like this, put the tag in right here, want to wrap it around seven or eight times, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and then come through the beginning where you made your twist, come through the line there. And a lot of guys like to bring the tag in through the loop again and you come tie with it, try to get it wet so the knot will slide all the way down. All the way down the shank of the hook and then come really tight and that's one of your best fishing knots there is for tying line on a hook. We're going to tie two lines to get it from two different rods. We call this a blood know, you want to get the two ends like this, go about seven or eight times on one side, come through over here and then on the other side, too, one, two, three, aahh, probably about seven turns, seven or eight turns. And then come through the opening again that we have here, come through there and all these knots when make sure that when you come tight on them that to get them wet 'cos they slide down a lot easier. That's it, then a little tight right there and now we've got two lines connected to each other. That's a blood knot. This is a very very strong knot, we use this for going shark fishing all the time. I'm Mark The Shark, thanks for watching."
