Knot Tying - One Man Bimini Twist to Albright
Andy demonstrates the one man Bimini twist.
The Bimini knot can be difficult to tie at first but after plenty of practice you can tie it just a fast as any other knot in your arsenal. It is an incredibly versatile knot. A great thing about it is it can replace the need for a snap swivel when plugging. Simply slide the loop through the eye of a swivel and pass the swivel back through. This is great if you are someone who changes lures often as you can keep rigs already tied up with a swivel and change just as fast as you would with a snap but using less terminal tackle.
If you use very long leaders that you like to be able to reel through your guides this knot will work perfectly for you as well since the use of any swivels is not necessary.
