Uh huh!
The Cow Hitch is used for tying onto a ring or a pintle hitch etc. and the taught line hitch is used when you need to adjust your length on the line under tension. Neither used for fishing. I like the simple cow hitch when tying off rope to drag etc.
I use this knot for fishing.
It’s already a fishing thread so who cares. Only 4 more months until my first tag opens.Really wanted to post the Portlandia episode on Artisanal Knots but didn't wanna derail this thread too bad..
clove hitch, half hitch, bowline, truckers knot.
