Below is how to make a simple knot perfect for fishing.

STEP 1) Loop the line around through the eye of the hook or whatever equipment you are using.

STEP 2) Do 5 loops around your main line.

STEP 3) Bring the line through the first loop that was made (the one right next to the hook).

STEP 4) Now go through the loop that was just created.

STEP 5) Lick the line. This helps the knot tie better.

STEP 6) Hold the excess line (in teeth if need be). Pull the hook end and main line end apart to secure knot. It should look as shown if done correctly.

I have found this knot to be the simplest of all knots. It is perfect for a beginners fishing rig. Take some time to practice it and master it.
