Rig a Striper Lure
Are you going fishing for striped bass? Catching a striper takes the right kind of lure. Any kind of lure, striper or not, takes the right kind of knot to make sure that whopper of a striper doesn't get away when your lure comes untied. Start with a Palomar knot, one of the easiest and strongest knots.
Instructions
1. Select a lure.
2. Start with plenty of line. You'll need some extra slack.
3. Double over about four to five inches of line. Do this like you were making a loop to tie your shoe.
4. Pass the entire loop through the eye of the lure. Don't let the loop come undone though, you want there to be two sections of line going through the eye.
5. Tie an overhand knot. Again, like you were tying your shoe. Wrap the loop around itself once and pull the tag end through the new loop. Do not pull it all the way tight, leave a little slack.
6. Pass the lure through the first loop. This is the loop that makes up the tag end of the line.
7. Tighten the line. Do this by pulling both the standing end and the tag end until it is tight as possible.
8. Trim excess line. Use nail clippers to snip off whatever is left of the tag end.
