Here is a proven big game offshore knot used by some of the best crews on the circuit. It’s simple and easy to tie and provides 100-percent strength. All you’ll need is a snap swivel and fishing line, that’s it.
Begin by taking a 2 foot section of line and doubling it up.
Slide the double line through your snap swivel.
Next, take the double line and wrap 4 times around the double main line—from bottom to top.
Now, wrap the double line back down 4 times.
After wrapping down 4x’s your knot should look like this
Next, take the double line tag end and insert it through the small gap (just like a fisherman’s knot) as pictured.
Next, moisten the entire knot and pull from the main line and swivel.
Finally, pull and cinch down tight and then trim off the excess double line tag ends.
