How Do You Tie A Bimini Twist?
This article should appeal to fishermen who are looking for a good strong knot and loop to attach tackle to their line. Not all Bimini Twists are created equal. Most fishermen do not requirethe loop in the Bimini Twist to be large enough to use as a ski rope. A nice sized loop large enough to tie off a leader can be achieved with about 30 to 36 inches of line. Also, a loop this size can be tied in about a minute with practice and is much easier to manage during the tying process. Start with about 30 inches of line. Do not cut the line from the reel. The idea is that the Bimini Twist will be the terminating end of the line to use when attaching a leader or other tackle. By doubling up the line, it makes for a much stronger line at the end where the fish will be biting and jerking the most. The Bimini Twist is intended to help end the problem of fish biting through the line and escaping. Before beginning the twist, get a paper towel or rag and wet it. You will need this later so keep it
