How to tie lure to line
 

How do you folks tie a lure to the line?? do you just tie it and then when its time to replace it you just cut it off the line. Or do you use a clip to make the changes faster and easier??

Tie your line directly to the lure/iron. When your done or want to change irons just cut it off.
The San Diego Knot is one of the best, easy to tie and strong.

Double San Diego never let me down!

Thanks guys.. Im going to see if i get lucky tomorrow and could use all the help... If anyone has any left over luck from the summer send it over here :reel::reel:

I've been using the trilene knot as of late.

palomar knot. quick, simple 100% strength knot. easy to tie in the dark too. especially good for getting smaller diameter monos to clinch on a bigger eye, like 10lb on a 2/0 leadhead.

San Diego and Palomar are all I ever use for lures and hooks. Double Uni for joining lines.

Man, how many knots are there to do the same basic thing? San Diego knot is a simple and strong knot. For irons I use the SD knot, but for plastics and hooks I have gone to the perfection loop. This knot is small, fast, easy, and provides a small loop for the lure to move in or to help a live bait to swim freely. It's not the strongest connection so I do cut and retie frequently. As to when to retie, I try to retie when ever I have pulled hard on the line, like fighting a good fish or getting stuck in the bottom or kelp. I never use a clip to attach a lure to the line. Get comfortable with some of the commonly used knots in So Cal (SD, palomar, uni to uni, a dropper loop knot) and practice them a bit so they come out consistantly and you feel confident tey will hold up to t long fight with a big fish.

I do the same. Probably wrong, but I've had zero failures with the Uni.

Here's a great knot tying resource.
