5 Turn Clinch Knot
Friday, July 17th, 2009This Carp Catchers Blog is going to show how to tie the 5 Turn Twice Through The Eye Clinch Knot. The Clinch Knot is an improvement on the blood knot. It was devised by carp fishing pioneer Jim Gibbinson and is a real belt and braces knot. The 5 turn clinch knot is normally used to attach swivels but there is no reason it could not be used to attach hooks. Ok carp catchers lets get started.
Step 1
Thread your line through the swivel
Step 2
Thread it through again
Step 3
Pull the tag end through about 6” from the swivel and lay alongside the mainline or hooklink
Step 4
Whip the tag up over the mainline or hooklink back towards the swivel as per photo. Do this 5 times
Step 5
Tread the tag end through the loop created at the swivel end
Step 6
Thread the tag end through the loop created at the opposite end to the swivel
Step 7
Moisten and carefully bed down the knot. Cut off tag end
