Trilene Knot

The Trilene knot is a strong, reliable connection that resists slippage and is a good choice for joining monofilament line to swivels, snaps, hooks and lures. The unique double wrap design and ease of tying yield consistently strong connections.

From my personal experiences, this knot does not perform well when using braided lines. After getting wet and subject to stress, the knot has a tendency to slip and become untied after some time has elapsed.

Step 1

1. Run the end of the line through the eye two times.

2. Wrap the free end of the line around the standing part 6 times, then thread the tag end back through the 2 loops formed by the two wraps through the eye.

3. Tighten the knot with a steady, even motion, without hesitation (Note: wetting the knot area will assist the tightening process and prevent line damage). Trim the tag end, leaving 1/8" - 1/4".
