Fish Egg Loop Knot
The Fish Egg Loop Knot is a very popular knot among freshwater anglers - Welcome to The FinTalk Fishing Knots details page for tying the Fish Egg Loop Knot . Follow the directions step by step and practice tying any particular knot over and over until you have it mastered. Learn it and practice it so when you are faced with changing lures or rigs in the middle of a hot bite you can quickly tie your knot and get your line back in the water. Sometimes the bite is only on for a little while so getting caught up with tying and re-tying rigs can cost valuable fish time. Remember not only should you be able to tie your knot fairly quick but you should be able to tie your fishing knot properly fairly quick. Nothing is worse than having what you know was a big daddy fish and losing him only to wind up your line to see your knot failed. It is enough to ruin your day, especially if the fishing is slow. So enjoy learning to tie these knots and for more detailed instructions check out "Fishing Knots and Rigs' by Geoff Wilson. |

| KNOT NAME: |
Fish Egg Loop |
| KNOT DESCRIPTION: |
The Egg Loop was one of our most requested knots - so here it is. Steelheaders and salmon fishermen rely on this knot to attach a cluster of eggs or yarn to a hook. It works best with hooks that have turned-up or turned-down eyes. |
|
|
This knot can be found in
Practical Fishing Knots by Mark Sosin and Lefty Kreh - in our opinion the
best book written on fishing knots. We have a link to this book in case you
are interested in a practical easy to understand book on knots. |

Knot Instructions |
|
1. Pull about two inches of line
through the hook eye and form a loop near the bend of the hook. |
|
2. Holding the loop between a thumb and
forefinger, bring the tag end of the line forward and make about five
wraps around the hook, wrapping towards the eye. |
|
3. Bring the tag end back through the loop and
tighten the knot with tension on the line in both directions. |
|
4. The final product is a knot that slides on the hook shank so that egg clusters and nylon yarn can be secured between the knot and the eye of the hook. |
