The San Diego Jam Knot |
| Also called a Reverse Clinch or Heiliger
knot, it is very popular with long range fishermen (hence
the name). This high test knot (95% when tied properly)
can be used on many line sizes, with the number of turns
decreasing as the line test increases. |
| |
- Pass the line through the eye of
the hook, swivel, or lure. Double back over
the main line.
| |
- Begin making turns over the main
line. The number of turns varies with line size,
from 8 turns with 10lb line down to 3 turns
with 40 lb.
| |
- Complete the appropriate number
of turns, then thread the tag end of the first
loop above the eye.
| |
- Holding the coils in place, pass
the tag end through the loop created by the
last coil of the knot.
| |
- Hold the tag end and standing line
while pulling up the coils. Make sure the coils
are in a spiral, not overlapping each other.
Slide against the eye. Clip the tag end.
