Arbor Knot—Line to spool: strength 60%

The Arbor Knot should be used for attaching your line to the spool of your fishing reel. (1) Loop the line around the spool, then (2) tie an overhand knot around the standing line to form a loose slip knot. (3) Tie an overhand knot in the free end and snug it up. (4) Pull firmly on the standing line until the knot in the free end snugs up against the slip knot. The Arbor Knot will not slip when you wind line onto the spool.
