Half-Blood Knot	Click on knots to see an animation	For attaching hooks, swivels and leads. This is a practical knot if the gauge of the hook, swivel or lead is similar in diameter to the line being used. If the gauge is thicker than the line, then a tucked half-blood should be used. (Use 5-7 turns for strength)
Tucked Half-Blood Knot	Click on knots to see an animation	A more efficient knot than the basic half-blood, and one that should be used when large fish are the quarry. (Use 5-7 turns for strength)
Stop Knot	Click on knots to see an animation	A very usefull knot to us for sliding float rigs, the knot can be tied with line or powergum. Leave a long end on the knot of at least 1cm, to stop floats from slipping over the knot.
Four Turn Water Knot		This knot is used to connect two lengths of line, it is usually used for a paternoster rig. The two lines are formed into a loop, the ends are passed through the loop four times then tightened.
		In snaggy swims, where the leger may get snagged on root etc, use a weaker line for the dropper as this will break before your main line.
The knotless knot		Used widely for hair rigs, the bait can be placed on the hair before tying the knot, to allow for the correct hair length.
