- 1). Grab your fishing pole and take out about four yards of the fishing line. Make a loop with the line. Twist the line about 20 to 30 times while holding onto the loop.
- 2). Allow the tag end to come down across the twist. Begin to wrap the twists with the tag line. Make sure to keep a steady amount of tension on the line. This will allow for a strong knot. Afterwards, execute a half-hitch around the right leg of the loop and pull.
- 3). Use a four turn locking hitch around the loop. Apply some moisture to wet the line and pull the tag end.
- 4). Tighten the line carefully by using your fingers to execute clean turns. Use a knife of scissors to shorten the excess tag if necessary. Make sure to leave yourself enough tag to ensure a sturdy knot. If you cut it too short the knot may unravel. Some Bimini twist knot experts suggest using superglue to keep the knot as secure as possible.
- 5). Test your knot before you go fishing. Tug at the knot as fiercely as you can. If the knot holds steady, you have successfully tied a Bimini twist knot. If the knot doesn’t hold, go back to step one and try again.
