Guide to Saltwater Fishing Knots for Gear & Fly Fishing
Saltwater fish have razor-sharp, bone-crushing teeth that can shred a leader, tippet, or knot in no time. Between their teeth and the enormous strength and speed of these fish, the use of well-constructed knots is a must. In this book, Notley shares 47 knots sure to keep fish on your line, including: 15 knots for joining lines; 9 for attaching lines to flies and 5 for loops; 8 loop knots; 10 super braid line knots. With the same clear illustrations and instructions of his other knot books, Notley provides saltwater anglers with all the knots they need to keep fish on the line.

|---|---|
| Joining lines | 15 |
| Attaching lines to flies | 9 |

This book is a practical resource for any saltwater angler. The knots are well-explained and easy to follow. I used several of the loop knots during a recent trip to the coast and they held up under strong fish pressure.
