The spider hitch loop knot is a popular fishing knot for anglers who need to quickly double over their line (much faster than the Bimini Twist).

But the standard way of tying the Spider Hitch knot was difficult for me to do properly.

So I tried a slightly different approach shown in this “how to tie the spider hitch knot” video and it was so much easier to tie.

As described in the video, we’ve performed a knot strength analysis contest to get an understanding of how this knot compares to other options for this type of connection.

Here are the knots used in the contest:

– Spider Hitch Knot
– Bimini Twist
– King Sling
– Surgeon’s
