Tis IMO is the best knot for mono line when securing your line to the reel.

Also great for securing the end of the line to main spool of line you are feeding from.


Step 1.
Pass the line around the arbor.

Step 2.

Tie an overhand knot in the standing line.

Step 3.

Tie another overhand knot in the tag end.

Step 4.

Moisten the knots (saliva will do- the lubrication keeps the line from weakening from the friction of tying.) Hold the tag end on either side of the knots and pull tight. Cut off any excess line above the knot in the tag end. Snug the knot down. All done.
