The most frequently used bait option is a plastic or rubber lure, specifically a spinnerbait. To connect your line to this type of lure, begin by tying an overhand knot at the end of your line. Then, thread the tag end through the lure’s eyelet and loop it back through the overhand knot. Make sure to leave ample slack so the knot can be tightened securely. Once your knot is secure, you’re all set to start fishing!

For heavier lures such as sinkers and jigs, a loop knot is usually used for attachment. To form this knot, make an overhand loop in your line and then pass the tag end of your line through both loops twice before cinching it down tight with a pair of pliers. This creates a loop in your line which can be used to easily attach lures with multiple eyelets or split rings.

Some lures, like crankbaits and topwater plugs, have lip-shaped eyelets which require special knots for attachment. For these types of lures, use either a Palomar or uni-knot to secure your line in place. Both knots are simple to tie and provide an extra layer of security against breakage.

Conclusion:

Attaching fishing line to lures can be done with ease if you know which knot or technique is best suited for each type of lure. An overhand knot is most commonly used for plastic or rubber baits, while heavier lures usually require a loop knot or special knots like the Palomar or uni-knot for added security. With practice and patience, you’ll soon become an expert at attaching fishing lines to lures!
