Trilene Knot—Attaching hook to line: strength 90%

The Trilene Knot is one of the easiest knots for novice anglers to learn how to tie. Experts also like the knot because it can be easily tied at night in complete darkness. (1) Slide your line through the hook eye, and repeat, entering the line from the same direction and being sure to form a double loop at the hook eye, as shown. (2) Wrap the tag end around the standing line four or five times, moving away from the hook. (3) Pass the tag end back through the double loop at the hook eye, moisten, pull the knot tight against the hook eye, and trim the tag end (4).
