Connecting the main line to the pole tip
Now everyone is doing Taiwan fishing. There are two recommended knotting methods for connecting the main line to the pole tip of Taiwan fishing: The outer line loop knot and the inner line loop knot can form a fixed loop at the end of the fishing line to connect with other fishing tackle. They are often used at the end of the main line of the throwing rod. According to measurements, the knot strength retention rate of this knot can reach 95%.

Connect the main line to the 8-figure loop
The connection between the main line and the 8-figure loop is as shown below . This is the method with the highest knot strength and is specifically used to connect the main line to the figure-8 ring. In recent years, it has also been widely used by competitive fishermen. However, even if there is no problem with the quality of the figure 8 ring, under normal use, the tensile strength loss at the figure 8 ring is the largest. This kind of wear is not simply "grinding", but the fatigue of the fishing line caused by repeated deformation. A simple solution to this problem is: after using a large wire a few times, cut off both ends and make it shorter before use - for example, change 4.5M to 3.9M.

How to connect the sub-line and the figure-8 ring
The method shown in the figure below can maintain the junction strength up to 90%. When tying a knot, the thread must be "smooth" and should not clump together after tying.
The picture below is another way to connect the sub-line to the figure 8 ring. The pulling force of this method is improved compared to the picture above. However, after this knot is tied, the verticality of the sub-line and the main line is not good. Fortunately, due to the weight of the hook and bait, this problem is not obvious during actual fishing.

Connection between lines
Nowadays, fishing lines are mostly connected through connectors, such as figure 8 rings and quick pins. , other connecting devices rarely have direct knotted connections between wires. However, it is very useful to master these and solve emergency problems when going fishing. Not only that, in daily life, these knots may sometimes come in handy.
The picture below is a better way to connect wires. By tying this kind of knot, the knot strength of the thread can reach 95% of its straight strength.

How to tie double hooks for Taiwan fishing
The tied double hooks for Taiwan fishing are simply beautiful. Looking at the master's sub-line box can basically tell a person's level of care and fishing skills. Each sub-line of Taiwan fishing is the same length, so that the length will be the same after changing the line. Therefore, the requirements for double hooks in Taiwan fishing are very high.
(Double hook binding method)
Hook tying steps: First use a sub-thread ruler to measure several sub-threads of the same length. According to the method shown in the picture, tie the single hook first, and then tie the second hook.
It should be noted that the thin wire should be wound 7 or 8 times, and the thick wire should be wound 9-12 times; the wire diameter should be about one-third of the diameter of the hook; the thin wire should be tied to the hook and the stress-bearing wire should be Just tighten the thread tail slightly. It is very easy to unhook when tying a big hook with a thick thread. You must tighten the stressed thread and the tail thread at the same time. When tying a small hook with a thin thread, pay attention to the part where the knot is tightened: do not tighten it. Tighten the knot against the hook cap, but a little away from the hook cap. After tightening the knot, pull the knot up and close to the hook cap.
The key to tying the sub-threads neatly: when measuring the threads with a sub-thread ruler, they must be aligned; the binding method, number of turns, and remaining thread ends must be consistent. If this is not possible, then a set of sub-threads, You can tie a hook first, align it and then cut it, which eliminates an uneven factor.
