Discover how to tie the Bimini Twist fishing knot the quick and easy way. Many anglers get intimidated by the Bimini Twist knot, but it’s actually quite easy to tie.
In fact, it’s one of the less complex knots out there given that it’s essentially just a bunch of twists that result in a very strong doubled over line.
After tying the Bimini Twist, most anglers use a doubled line to line connection knot like the No Name knot or the Yucatan to complete the tie on to their final leader line.
Here are the core steps to tying the Bimini Twist fishing knot:
1) Double over the line (6 inches to 2 ft)
2) Make ~20 twists in the line
3) Put loop end around a fixed object (reel handle, knee, etc)
4) Condense wraps into a small area
5) Aim tag end down and lessen the tension so it wraps over the twists
6) Perform at least 3 half hitch knots to ensure it doesn’t unravel.
