The methods for tying various parts of the fishing line are as follows:

1. The main line is connected to the pole tip

The recommended knotting method for Taiwan fishing is where the main line is connected to the pole tip. Two types: outer line loop combined with inner line loop knot. This knot can form a fixed line loop at the end of the fishing line for connection with other fishing tackle. It is often used at the end of the main line of the throwing rod. According to measurements, the knot strength retention rate of this knot can reach 95%.

2. The main line is connected to the figure 8 ring

The connection between the main line and the figure 8 ring is as follows. This is the method with the highest knot strength and is specifically used to connect the main line to the figure-8 ring. In recent years, it has also been widely used by competitive fishermen. However, even if there is no problem with the quality of the figure 8 ring, under normal use, the tensile strength loss at the figure 8 ring is the largest. This kind of wear is not simply "grinding", but the fatigue of the fishing line caused by repeated deformation.

3. Connection between the sub-line and the figure-8 ring

The junction strength retention rate of the figure-8 ring connection method can reach 90%. When tying a knot, the thread must be "smooth" and cannot clump together after tying. The pulling force of this method has been improved, but the verticality of the sub-line and the main line is not good after the knot is tied. Fortunately, due to the weight of the hook and bait, this problem is not obvious during actual fishing.

4. Connection between lines

Nowadays, fishing lines are mostly connected through connectors, such as figure 8 rings, quick pins, and other connecting devices. There are few direct knotted connections between lines. However, it is very useful to master these and solve emergency problems when going fishing. Not only that, in daily life, these knots may sometimes come in handy.
