Bass Lures

I’m going to warn you on the Palomar knot, it’s a great knot and all, but be careful. I have used it through my fishing years, but have noticed if you don’t tie it right it can easily snap.

First I want to warn you to always give your Palomar knot the strength test after your first tied it. Just grab your lure or snap swivel and take a nice tug or two. If it seems to hold up, you’re good. But if it snaps, you’re obviously tying it wrong. And let me tell you first hand experience, it’s easy to tie it wrong.

Lord knows I’m not the greatest with directions, I made a video to help you bass fisherman out. 4th step is the most important(big warning), make sure you guide the loop along the line attached to your lure and reel. Make sure the loop doesn’t hook over the snap swivel or knot. If it gets hooked over the part of the knot wrong or swivel, it will make the knot weak and could cost you a big bass. This is fishing 101 brought to you by Professor Erik.

This is my first video, so don’t be to hard on me. I tried my best explaining the Palomer knot.
