Improved Clinch Knot

• Learn to tie the improved clinch knot since it is excellent when you desire to attach a medium or heavy pound test fishing line to an offset worm hook. It is not as likely to give way or snap as the simple clinch knot is. This allows you to play bigger fish, the kind that often will take a plastic worm when presented on a worm hook. Fish like bass and pike will severely test your knot-tying ability. The improved clinch knot takes only a couple more seconds to tie than a regular clinch knot, and those seconds are well worth the peace of mind this knot provides.
  
  

Trilene Knot

• Remember that a Trilene knot joins worm hooks as well as swivels and lures to monofilament fishing line. It is not a difficult knot for you to learn, and it has better resistance to slipping than most types of simple knots. This is because you will complete a double wrap through the eye of the worm hook when tying a Trilene knot. This relieves some of the strain from the line, making for a more secure knot.
  
  

Palomar Knot

• Use a Palomar knot for your worm hook, since you can tie this simple knot at night when fishing for species like bass. The Palomar knot is reliable, and it will hold up during a fight with a large fish. One of its disadvantages, though, is that at one point in the process of tying a Palomar knot you must make a loop large enough to pass over your entire worm hook. Be sure to give yourself enough line to work with to avoid having to begin over.
  
  

Uni-Knot

• Have the uni-knot in your repertoire of fishing knots. It is an all-purpose knot and works especially well when you need to attach a worm hook to your line. As a line-to-line knot, the uni knot has its drawbacks, as it will often break. However, it is a strong knot for a worm hook-line attachment and another knot that you can tie in the dark with enough practice.
