Stanford surgery knot tying video7/2/2023 The telltale sign of total slip failure is a little curly “pig’s tail” or corkscrew at the end of the line where the hook, swivel, or lure was supposed to be. At its most extreme, the knot simply slips completely undone, with the tag end or tail sliding all the way back through the various turns and twists under pressure until the connection lets go. Knot slippage takes two catastrophic forms. Second, they’re poorly constructed in the first place, resulting in one strand of line effectively cutting across and through another. Sadly, knot failure is and will most likely remain the single greatest cause of lost fish. Those knots may need to be tied as quickly as possible, in poor light, on a pitching boat, or in the wind, rain, or cold, often with hands still trembling uncontrollably after our latest adrenalin-charged fishy encounter. Every one of these connections needs to be as strong as we can make it, maintaining the maximum integrity of our tackle and, we hope, avoiding the addition of another “one that got away” story to the endless list. During an intensive fishing session, an angler might tie a dozen or more knots in just a few hours.
