cinch knot

A cinch knot is a secure tying technique commonly used in fishing to attach a hook or lure to the fishing line. It involves wrapping the line around itself several times, then threading the end back through the loop created near the hook. Tightening the knot compresses the wraps, creating a strong, reliable connection that resists slipping when a fish pulls on the line. Its simplicity and effectiveness make it a popular choice among anglers for ensuring their tackle remains secure during use.
