How to tie a half blood-knot
Here we show you how to tie a half blood knot (also known as a cinch knot) which is perfect for fishing as it easily attaches a fishing line strongly to a hook.
- Pass the end of the line through the eye of the hook or swivel
- Twist the end round the standing part five times
- Pass the free end through the loop the eye (if you tighten it now, this is the normal half bloodknot, but we will make it stronger!)
- Pass the free end through the larger loop now formed to produce the officially named tucked half bloodknot
- Pull tight and moisten as you do to help the knot close up properly.
