CLINCH KNOT

1. Put the end of the line through the eye of the hook and bring it back toward the line.

2. Make five twists around the line.

3. Take the end back toward the hook and push it through the first loop nearest the eye.

Important.
4. Bring the end back through the big loop. This feature is often ignored, allowing the line to pull through when you have the "big one" on.

5. Hold the hook and the line, pull the knot tight until it looks like the knot shown. Trim off the loose end to no longer than 3/16 of an inch or less.

TRILENE KNOT

1. Run the end of the line through the eye of the hook two times.

2. Loop the line around 4 or 5 times, then thread the loose end back between the two loops near the hook as shown.

3. Pull tight. Trim the loose end.

PALOMAR KNOT

1. Start with plenty of line.

2. Double the line and pass the end through the hook's eye.

3. Tie an overhand knot (like you were tying your shoe string) but do not pull it tight yet.

4. Pass the hook through the loop.

5. Pull the loose end of the line to tighten the knot. Trim the end. Leave at least 1/8 inch of your line at the knot.

1. Put 15cm (5-6 inches) of line through the eye of the hook.
2. Bring it around in a circle and put the end through again.
3. Making a second circle, pass then end through a third time.
4. Holding the three circles of line against each other, wrap the end three times around the circles.
5. Either hold the hook steady with pliers, or make it fast to boat's rigging or safety lines.
6. Holding strain on the hook, pull on both ends of the line to tighten.

1. Pass a 15cm (5-6 inches) loop of line through the eye.
2. Bring the end back on itself, passing it under the doubled part.
3. Make five loops over the doubled part.
4. The formed knot is worked into shape.
5. The knot is sent down the line, against the eye of the hook or swivel.

 This is a much simpler variant. In all likelihood, this Grant's Uni-Knot. I have used it for more than fifty years and it has never failed me, whether tied in 1kg or 50kg monofilament. It was taught to me by the late Wally Kerr, a top flathead fisherman.

1. Pass a 15cm loop of line through the eye.
2. Lock the upper part between thumb and forefinger, making a loop.
3. Make two more loops over the double part, holding them too, between thumb and forefinger.
4. Pass the end through the two loops just made, plus the first loop made in step2.
5. The formed knot can now be drawn into shape, and worked down against the eye of the hook or swivel.

 Restricted to lines of breaking strength less than about 20kg, the process is a simple one.

1. Pass the loose end of the line through the eye twice, leaving a loop hanging below the hook.
2. Hold both lines along the shank of the hook.
3. Use the loop to wind tight coils around the shank and both lines, from the eye upwards. Use from 5 to 10 turns.
4. Use the fingers to hold these tight coils in place. Pull the line (extending from the eye) until the whole loop has passed under these tight coils.
5. With coils drawn up, use pliers to pull up the end of the line.

A simple and effective knot .

1. Make a large loop and using it as the loose end tie an overhand knot. 
2. Pull it tight leaving a loop at the end about 2 inches long.
3. Pass the loop through the eye of the hook, down over the end of the hook and then snug it up.

 Another  loop can be tied quickly and easily using the Blood Bight Knot which is a variation of the loop knot above but with a twist, literally.

1. Double the line back to make a loop of the size desired.
2. Bring the end of the loop twice over the doubled part.
3. Now pass the end of the loop through the first loop formed in the doubled part.
4. Draw the knot up into shape, keeping pressure on both lines.
5. Pass the loop through the eye of the hook, down over the end of the hook and then snug it up.

Joining lines

1. Lie the ends of the two lines against each other, overlapping about 15cm (5-6 inches).
2. Take 5 turns around one line with the end of the other, and bring the end back where it's held between the two lines.
3. Repeat by taking 5 turns around the other line, bringing the end back between the two lines. These two ends should then project in opposite directions.
4. Work the knot up into loops, taking care that the two ends do not slip out of position.
5. Draw the knot up tightly.

 It will probably be necessary to have one of the lines rolled on a spool, or perhaps wrapped on a temporary card, so that it may be passed through the loop.

1. Lay the two lines against each other (the red and the black), overlapping about 22.5 cm.(8")
2. Working the two lines as one, tie an Overhand Knot. It will be necessary to pull either line (say the red) completely through this loop.
3. Pull the red through this loop again.
4. Pass the other end (black) through the loop.
5. The formed knot can now be worked into shape.
