Tying Bimini Twist Knot Step by Step
Tying bimini twist knot step by step, this knot is super sensitivity and strength for light tackle going for KBL to trolling of Marlin. It is even better
for PE braid (spectra) line of up to 30kg line.
Step 1
Begin by tying a small loop in the end of your line then cutting it off. You will need this loop as a pull-through to finish off the Bimini later on.Take
a loop of line and secure the standing part by taking a bight of line around your left hand.
Step 2
Roll in at least thirty twists.
Step 3
Pass the loop over your shoe, or any convenient fixture like a rod holder in a boat or get one of your buddy to hold for you, and keep the tension on the
loop so it won't come off.
Step 4
Keeping pressure on the standing part, rotate the tag between thumb and forefinger of the right hand to make the tag spiral back over the twists.
Step 5
Hold the tag between thumb and middle finger of the left hand and put your right hand inside the loop over your shoe and open the loop by spreading your
fingers and sliding your right hand toward the left hand.This will cause the tag to spiral back over the twists while tension on the tag is cintrolled by
the pressure of your thumb against the middle finger.
Step 6
When the tag has spiralled back to the crotch in the loop, place your left index finger in the crotch to secure the tag.Then take the small loop you first
made and commence wrapping it with the tag.
Step 7
Wrap the loop, and both strands of the Bimini three or four times then pass the tag through the loop.
Step 8
Withdraw your loop, drawing the tag back out from under the last few wraps.
Step 9
Pull gently on the tag, rotating the Bimini as you do so until a couple of twists appear in the loop, then stop. If you pull tag out too far you will shorten the splice.
