How to tie a fishing hook by Davy and Double Davy Knots

 

How to tie a Fishing Hook using the Davy and the Double Davy knots. Popular Knots presents the Davy Knot that was created in the 1950's by Davy Wotton when he was competing in the Welsh Fly-Fishing Team. He was experimenting to find a knot which he would be able to tie extremely quickly – which makes a lot of sense: less time tying knots equals more time catching fish.

 

Davy Knot


The Double Davy Knot is derived from the original Davy Knot created by Davy Wotton. The objective was a knot which could still be tied quickly and easily but would be more secure in some situations.

The Double Davy has been tested against other knots. Although Matt found the Non-Slip Mono strongest, in general the Double Davy performs very well and is stronger than other knots including the Davy. Like the original Davy it has a small footprint and can be tied quickly, even with cold fingers.

Instead of presenting here some kind of animation knot, pictures or videos inconvenient for reproducing the knot (as some websites do) we provide demonstration of tying knots using YouTube videos directly by hands. Videos are taking with such angle that viewer is experiencing a full presence in tying process and can actually repeat the creation of the knot by his/her own hands. In many cases we are forming the Knot using colored ropes for better understanding and memorizing of the way how fancy rope work was done. In videos (such as "Fishing Knots Under 30 seconds) we are also demonstrating tying knots in slow motion inviting viewer tying knot together with us.

You can certainly visit our "Popular Knots" directly on YouTube where we created for you convenient playlists presenting knots depending on their use.
