The Grinner knot has about 80 to 90 percent strength and efficiency. It is also usable for almost all line classes, ranging from the lightest to the heaviest and is one of the most useful knots for an angler to know. It can also be used with braided lines. Here are 5 easy steps to show you how to tie this useful knot.
Step One:
Using the eye of the hook, you have to thread the line. Make sure that you have five to six inches of line to work with. Work with the remaining line on the eye’s other side (exit).
Step Two:
You may now twist the shorter line. Coil it four times around the body of the main line. Do not forget to bring the end of the shorter line back to its place of origin. Once the shorter line is back, hold the loop. It is recommended to use the forefinger (left) and the thumb for this task.
Step Three:
Tying the knot can be done through pulling the end of the shorter line.
Do not pull the end of the shorter line so that it's too stiff.
Do the pulling as gentle as possible.
Before you fully tie the knot, dampen the line that will be used for the knot. Dampness will help lessen the heat that will wane the line. The damp line will also help strengthen the grinner knot. The simplest way to damp the knot is by using your saliva.
Step Four:
Drag the grinner knot. Make sure to pull the hook and the end of the shorter line in opposite directions.
Cut the end of the shorter line. Cut the line one centimeter from the knot.
Remember that if you cut the shorter line too close to the knot itself, it will come so loose.
Step Five:
If you want a twin grinner knot, you may combine two threads. Follow the first to fourth steps and you will have your twin grinner knot.
