The Bowline |
| Not a fishing knot, but certainly one every boating
fisherman should know, this rope knot is used to make
a fixed-size loop in a line. The bowline is used to
temporarily tie a rode to an anchor, or, using one
knot on each line, tie together 2 lines of different
diameters. The advantage of the bowline are that its
loop will not slip, and its ability to be untied after
being exposed to a strain. |
| |
- Make an overhand loop (eye). Pass
the free end through the eye, to form a larger
eye.
| |
- Pass the free end beneath the standing
part, making an underhand loop.
| |
- Bring the free end through the
first eye again.
| |
- Pull the free end tight.
