If you are looking for the best fishing knots for securing your line to a lure, swivel, clip, or artificial fly, consider learning the popular Improved Clinch Knot. It offers up to 95 percent of the original line strength. The key is to make five turns of the tag end around the standing end before running the tag end back through the formed loop.
Thread the line through the eye of the hook or lure leaving about 6-12 inches of line
Leaving a small space between the line and the hook eye, twist the tag end around the standing line five times
Pass the tag end back through the small space you made near the hook eye
Then run the tag end back through the second loop you created in step 3
Pull both the standing line and the tag end slowly away from hook
Moisten your lines with saliva or water
Pull only the standing line firmly away from the hook
