King Sling Fishing Knot
King Sling fishing knot, have you ever heard of this one? We have that one and a whole lot more for you to check out and learn how to tie. Some obscure knots and some very popular knots for salt and fresh water including fly fishing knots.
Welcome to The FinTalk Fishing Knots details page for tying the King Sling 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 Instructions |
|
Form a double loop at the end of the line
by folding the end of the line back on itself forming a loop. Then fold the
loop back on itself forming a second loop. Grasp this second loop with your
forceps. See Figure 1 |
|
Now rotate the second loop end and
the forceps around the double line three times. See Figure 2 |
|
Next, push the second loop and the forceps holding the second loop through the first loop. Then release and withdraw the forceps leaving the second loop extending through the first loop. See Figure 3. Note: you can also reverse the procedure by placing the closed forceps through the first loop and then grasping the second loop, wrapping the forceps and grasped loop around the standing line and tag three times. Finally, draw the forceps out of the first loop along with the second loop. |
|
Wet the knot and using one hand to pull the single
loop and the other to pull both the standing line and the tag end start to draw
the knot tight. Once the knot forms, even out the knot loops on each end of the
knot itself. See Figure 4 |
|
Finally, complete drawing the knot tight.
Clip the tag end leaving a short stub and the loop knot is complete. See
Figure 5 below. Note that in Figure 5 the tag has not yet been cut off. |
