For what its worth Ive watched this video yet again and Im still hopeless The presenter says here ya go nice and simple but doesnt show making the loop or how the line becomes a knot Its become quite frustrating as if I actually find a video made properly ill be able to learn this knot
Thanks Rob, it doesn’t really leave the half hitch on the line, maybe very occasionally. Usually there’s a bit of bait stuck where the half hitch was so you just undo it and start again. If you left the knot in the line it would weaken it, so just push each end of the line towards each other and the half hitch will come undone. I hope that makes sense.
Ive commented on several videos Im trying so hard to get info on keeping bait on And have watched 8 videos and in every one the actual technique of doing the knot which is the subject matter is not shown , its either obstructed or no instruction given Its not easy for beginners lol Not a single video has the poster saying right heres to actuaL Process and explains the steps as easy as it may be Just 1 person please post a clear unobstructed view video of the knot on a bait I never imagined it would be this hard to find a clear video
Watch the placement of the line he holds it on the fish's tail and then makes the loop not letting go of the line on the fishes tail, pull that loop over the line he's holding and that's your half hitch
Look at the squid baiting example The actual method to create the knot isnt shown Why post things called how to do....whatever And then make it as confusing as possible

Great vid, I’ve always thought this would then leave a half hitch left in the line and therefore weaken it?

It's all shown clear as day in the vid it's not an actual knot in your line
Thanks mate!
