Example of a fisherman's
knot to join two ropes |
Fisherman's Knot
The Fisherman’s Knot is used by fishermen to join two
pieces of fishing line, but is just as useful tying small cordage and
string together. They must be the same type and size cord. The knot is
easy to recognize to verify if it’s tied correctly. This knot retains 75%
of the rope’s strength.
This knot is used as a bend. Example: use it to lengthen a guy-line
by joining another cord to the end of the guy-line. |
